My advice is to bring your own snacks and drinks. Beachside cafes can be pricey and while the food is great it's nice to save some cash and munch on what you love.

I recommend hitting the beach early, around 7 AM, to snag a good spot and enjoy the sunrise. It gets crowded fast, and the morning vibe is just unbeatable!

Parking can be a hassle; I found a spot pretty far away. So save some time and consider taking a taxi or rideshare if you can. It's worth it!

Bring cash! Some of the beach bars don’t take cards and it’s often easier for tips. A refreshing coconut water is a must after all that sun!

I suggest wearing reef shoes or sandals because the sand can be super hot, especially in the afternoon. My feet were burning by about noon, and I regretted not packing them!

If you’re planning to surf, try to hit the waves early around 7 am when the wind is calmer and the water is less crowded. I had the best time catching some great waves then!

I think sunset is magical at Mole Beach, so don’t miss it. Grab a beer, relax, and enjoy the colors, but be careful of the sandflies; they bite!

Bring your own snacks and drinks instead of buying from the kiosks. I found the prices were a bit steep, and packing a picnic is way more fun!

If you can, visit early in the morning around 8 AM. The park is much quieter, and you get to enjoy the vibe before crowds show up.

Check out the playground areas! They are super fun and well-maintained. I think kids of all ages can have a blast there.

My advice is to bring a camera! The views and nature are beautiful, and you'll regret not capturing the moments when you look back at your trip later.

Wear good walking shoes! The trails can be a bit uneven, and I slipped a couple of times because I wore sandals that weren't the best for hiking.

I suggest checking out the small art installations scattered around the park; they add a unique touch to the experience, plus it's fun to discover them while wandering!

I highly recommend getting to Luz Park early in the morning, around 8 AM, to avoid the crowds and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere before it gets busy. It's a great time for taking photos too!

My advice is to wear comfortable shoes since the park covers a lot of ground. I wore flip-flops and regretted it after several hours of walking around.

I recommend wearing sunscreen, even if it looks cloudy. I got sunburned because I thought I was safe. The reflection off the sand can be sneaky!

If you’re planning to rent a sandboard, make sure to haggle a little. I paid too much on my first try, but a friendly chat with the guy got me a better deal later!

Skip the overpriced beach bars and pack your own snacks. There are picnic tables near the beach, and it’s way more relaxing to chill with your own food while enjoying the view!

I recommend getting to Matadeiro Beach early, around 8 AM, to snag a good parking spot and enjoy a quieter beach vibe before the crowds roll in. Trust me, it makes a huge difference!

If you're planning to surf, check out local surf schools for affordable lessons. I found a great one that didn't break the bank and really helped me catch some nice waves!

Beware of the tides, as they can change quickly. I suggest checking a tide chart ahead of time, so you can enjoy the beach without worrying about getting stranded!
