Marau is one of these rare places at the coast of Brazil which are still untouched. The peninsula is more than 40 km long and is full of deserted beaches, lakes, mangroves, natural swimming pools, waterfalls, rivers, forest and wild life. This is definitely an unique place in Brazil.
The white sand beaches, surrounded by the crystal clear water and by the long palm trees, make Marau the perfect destination at any time of the year. The corals are also a highlight, and anyone visiting the peninsula can’t miss snorkelling and diving in the region.
Its isolated location has guaranteed the local nature’s fully preservation. There are so many hidden paradisaical beaches in Marau that you will often have the feeling to be on a private island. To travel around the peninsula, the best option is to rent a car, a boat or a speed boat.
