Saquarema - Praia da Vila
Edit SpotAbout
Very cool place.
Atmosphere:
The spot have a very good vibe,'it's a paradise, very calm and receptive place with a lot of natural beauty. It's one of the most popular places to surf in Brazil. Itaúna, the other beach of Saquarema is even better and holds biger swells.
Additional Info:
Very easy to find, when is on is a fantástic wave with good barrels. Respect the locals they could be very friendly..otherwise...
