The best things to do outside in Brazil, according to the experts: the World's 50 Beaches has weighed in, and their honors are what rank this list. Pontal do Atalaia comes out on top, and the good stuff runs deepest in Alta Floresta and Arraial do Cabo.

Getting to Pontal do Atalaia means either a boat ride or a steep, punishing climb, which is precisely why the white sand stays uncrowded when every other beach in Arraial do Cabo is packed. Locals call the area the Brazilian Caribbean, and the clear, calm water makes that easy to believe. The real draw is the clifftop view over the coastline and surrounding islands. It landed at #44 on the World's 50 Best Beaches in 2026.
