Cool off with a caipirinha, a refreshing Brazilian cocktail made with “cachaça” sugarcane liquor, lime and sugar. You’ll also be tempted by snacks like grilled “tainha” fish and shrimp.

Drive or hike up Santo Antônio Hill for sweeping views over the sandy beaches and the sparkling Atlantic Ocean. Watch local hang gliders and paragliders fling themselves off the flight deck and soar down to the landing area.
