You don\u2019t precisa saber (need to know) much about Brazil to recognize that its beaches are among the most distinguished in the mundo inteiro (whole world). Well, obviously there is a reason for that. With its huge continental proportions, a litoral (coastline) of 7,491 km and more than 2000 beaches across the country, passar o tempo (spending some time) and chilling at the beach are amidst the primary choices of every Brazilian on vacations, living in coastal cities or not. With such vast territory and so many options, I decided to step away from the obvious southeast cities like Rio de Janeiro and talk about some incredible locations up the North. I hope you enjoy it.<\/p>\n

Ba\u00eda do Sancho – Fernando de Noronha, Pernambuco<\/b><\/p>\n

Situated in the famous archipelago of Fernando de Noronha, this beach has been considered to be among the mais bonitas (most beautiful) in the world. To gain access by land to its impeccably clear waters and white sand, one must find a way through the crack of a huge cliff that surrounds the whole coast. From the top of that cliff it is possible to have a great view of the place, including the Morro Dois Irm\u00e3os, one of the landmarks of the whole island. It is also considered to be one of the greatest diving spots in the country and TripAdvisor users have elected it as the world\u2019s best beach twice in a row.<\/p>\n
