To reach Praia de Palva, also known as Segredo, one must take a trail starting from Jeribucaçu and pass through Praia dos Corais. In Arruda, you can either follow the rocks on the edge or take a right towards the lagoon at the top of the hill. The trail is peaceful and serene. The beach is well-maintained and definitely worth visiting.
During our five-day stay in ItacarΓ©, my husband and I made it a daily routine to take a morning stroll to this exquisite beach. We were always fascinated by the innovative weight gym that was constructed using metal bars, concrete, and recycled materials. We would stop by to do some weightlifting exercises before continuing our walk. The beach was bustling with people participating in various sports activities, and the sight of the colorful boats added to the charm of the city. It was a treat to watch the lively atmosphere of the beach while enjoying the refreshing morning breeze.
