Definitely worth a visit. I did not try cabane since it wasn't in the budget but swam alittle on the right and walked alot to the left and saw the rock thingies as well as paradise Beach next door. The rain was an added bonus.

Das praias que mais gostamos de ir, aconselho vivamente a visita. Tem também um baloiço icónico para tirar fotos e o próprio bar da praia o lê cabane.

This is a fairly small and not crowded beach. You can get sunbeds for $10 USD per person from the lifeguard if you want, but it's not mandatory. There is only the nearby restaurant and drinks are very expensive there, so make sure to bring your own. One thing to be careful of is that the trees where the restaurant is, are the very toxic manchineel trees - you can see those marked with a red painted band. The trees on the right side of the beach are not dangerous and you can sit under their shade safely. The other thing to be careful of is the sea urchins on the rocks next to the restaurant. Stay away from that unless you're absolutely confident of what you're doing. There's a large unpaved parking lot nearby, though keep in mind many people come to that restaurant for lunch so you might struggle to find space around that time. Having said that, it was an enjoyable day for us and would recommend it as long as you keep in mind all of the above.
