A true paradise for whoever is in search of peace! 170 kilometers away from Natal there is a delightful fishing village, which, to this day is totally unspoilt. Situated on a peninsula and totally surrounded by dunes, mangrove swamps and salt mines the community of almost 1.500 inhabitants is full of human warmth and very welcoming.

The boat trips which take in the dunes, mangrove swamps and salt hills take us to a veritable ecological sanctuary where we can engage in different activities such as diving, horse riding and jeep rides. Come and join us!!
