If you are interested in beaches, well, there are several thousand miles of beaches to choose from and several that make the “best in the world” lists every year, including Lopes Mendes on Ilha Grande, several on Fernando de Noronha and others, so it's hard to go wrong. In many cases, you don't have to stray very far from a major city to get to one (i.e. Rio or Salvador, Fortaleza or Florianopolis, etc.) |
