View South America & Antarctica on the mapBoutiques and restaurants line the cobblestones of Rua das Pedras, creating a sophisticated yet small and relaxed atmosphere. It is lively during the summer vacation season and quiet at other times. Since there is no pier, visitors generally go ashore by tender, and the town center is walkable.

Port highlights

A small resort town of about 30,000 to 40,000 people (the population swells several times over in summer)
Population
A tropical oceanic climate, warm year-round. Summers (December–March) are hot and humid during the day, with more sudden rain. Winters (June–August) are comfortable during the day, but offshore upwelling lowers sea temperatures.
Climate
Portuguese (English and Spanish are also partly understood in the tourism industry)
Language
Brazilian real (BRL); cards are widely accepted, but cash is advisable at markets and similar places.
Currency
March to May and October to November. This is a time when you can enjoy the sea while avoiding the summer crowds and strong sunshine.
Best time to visit
Local food

Seafood dishes using shrimp and crab, the coconut milk fish stew moqueca, and feijoada of black beans and pork. Caipirinha, made with sugarcane spirit, is the classic cocktail.
