Fodor's Expert Review Praia da Cueira

A 40-minute walk along the sand from Boca da Barra, following the jungle track after Praia Tassimirim, is the immense curved Bay of Cueira, a favorite for local soccer matches and for families to spend the day. A smattering of restaurants, including Guido’s lobster shack, serve lunch and ice-cold coconuts. Amenities: food and drink; toilets. Best for: swimming; walking.
