A Day At The Beach

Living in Balneário Camboriú, we’ve gotten pretty used to going to the beach. Our house is only two blocks away but everyone wanted to spend Saturday at the beach so we packed up some stuff and headed to the next city down the road, Itapema.

You might as why we would do that if we had a beach so close by. The answer is simple. More than 700,000 Argentineans, Paraguayans, Uruguayans and Brazilians. This is one of the most popular tourist cities in Brazil and the beaches are simply packed. It’s hard to see the sand for all the umbrellas.

Ilhotas Beach in Itapema is another story. As you can see in this photo, it has not yet been discovered by tourists.



The sand runs along about a mile stretch before ending in a giant rock formation.



As the surf comes crashing in, it produces some spectacular spray




You can see more of my photos from Itapema at my Flickr site.
