Mar do Macaco
Edit SpotAbout
The spot is wide, over 1km, but surfers prefer catch waves in front of the "Bar do Surfista", trying to impress the pretty girls that are used to enjoy the bar on weekends.
Additional Info:
Waves for fun, nothing special. The quality depends strongly on the wind direction and intensity. Even in crowd you can find your wave.
