After passing through the lagoon Islands of the Gigóia complex we will head to the Joatinga channel where you will find the exit to the sea of 5 big lagoons over the hidden Amores Beach at the shore break pier.

This place is of a unique nature as the currents renew the waters and life of the lagoon daily varying the tones from dark to ultra transparent with possible bathing accordingly to the regime of the tides.

At high tide you can swim in the beach on the sea exit where the waters can be crystal clear above beautiful sandbanks. In the low tides you can step out dry and take pictures of Barra da Tijuca beach from the shore break pier.
