Cacimba do Padre

Intermediate Beach break Sand bottom Peels both 0.8–3 m Any tide

A national-marine-park island with Brazil's best waves: Cacimba's punchy beachbreak peaks and the neighbouring right point of Praia do Boldró in a postcard bay. December-to-February swells deliver warm, powerful surf in absurdly clear water — with a park fee and strict visitor caps.
