Mirror Beach (Praia do Espelho) is often listed as one of the most beautiful beaches in Brazil. Given that Brazil boasts over 2,000 beaches along its 7,000 kilometers of coastline, many of which are stunning, it’s quite an honor. This beach stands out due to its natural pools, lush vegetation, and striking cliffs.
Mirror Beach shares many of its natural charms with nearby beaches like Trancoso, Arraial d’Ajuda, and Caraíva. However, what makes Mirror Beach unique is that it combines all the best features of these neighboring beaches into one spectacular location.
One of the highlights of Mirror Beach is its magnificent reefs, which form natural pools and lagoons. These often give the sea a beautiful turquoise color that’s hard to find at the other nearby beaches. Besides its natural pools, Mirror Beach is surrounded by white sandy cliffs and palm groves right by the sea. There’s also a gorgeous cove on the northern side, sheltered by these white cliffs.
