The sea of Lopes Mendes seems always busy, suitable for surfing, so it is the beach where this sport is the most practiced. It is a beach of shallow depth and the water transparency is impressive, as well as its shades variation. Lopes Mendes was once inhabited by the Caiçara community, when the penal colony of ‘Dois Rios’ lived its peak, but today it is an almost deserted beach with a lot of natural shade from the almond trees.

We'll have some dinner and then have some free time a Abraão Village.
