Praia do Maso

Welcome to Palhoça's stunning beach, where the only way in is through a trail that makes you feel like Indiana Jones. Whether you take the shorter trail through Praia de Cima or venture through Guarda do Embaú, you'll feel like a true explorer. Once you arrive, you'll be at the mercy of the tide and wind, which can make the strip of sand disappear faster than a magician's rabbit. But fear not, this is all part of the adventure. If you're lucky enough to catch the beach at the right time, you'll be in for a treat. This heavenly place is perfect for a few hours of sun, sand, and surf. Don't be surprised if you see people camping around the beach. After all, who wouldn't want to spend a night under the stars in such a picturesque location? Just don't forget to bring your own marshmallows.

Discover a hidden gem in Palhoça - the picturesque Maço beach nestled amongst the stunning greenery and rocky terrain of Vale da Utopia. The journey to this paradise is a delightful adventure, with a gentle trail leading you to the ultimate reward. The beach itself is a true masterpiece, with crystal clear waters and soft sand that will make your heart sing. Lose yourself in the tranquility of this secluded haven and let the beauty of nature wash over you. A true slice of paradise awaits you at Maço beach.

This place, also known as Utopia Valley, may seem amazing to some, but don't be fooled by its charm. While many may seek out a camping adventure here, the trail is nothing more than a simple stroll. We made the mistake of arriving at dawn in hopes of witnessing a picturesque sunrise. However, our joy was short-lived as the rain began to pour and the temperature plummeted, leaving us shivering and regretful of our decision to visit. 😒
