Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

I loved this place, it is very chill, comfy, and quiet. It is mostly people who are very laid back, there is no phone signal there, and the internet connection is not one of the best. This is a place for you to lay back and enjoy life as it comes to you. Many camping areas, some chalés, and places to eat. If you are looking for things to do, maybe this beach is not for you. If you want to relax with nature around you, this is the place!

Accessible by taxiboat from the Laranjeiras gated community or by hiking a relatively easy trail (recommended) that winds through the Atlantic Rain Forrest. The whole area is within a nature reserve.
The beach never gets very full, tends to have calm waters, and has a few simple bars and restaurants along it. There are also a few options for spending the night.
For the more adventurous, plan a hike to Ponta Negra and from there to the Saco Bravo waterfall, passing by several desolate and picturesque beaches and waterfalls along the way.

I went on hotel trip here. Comfortable coach ok time connections to boat efficiently handle. Fast boat out to a cool shallow Caribbean Sea swimming area, then onto Sonoa island. A lovely beach with good and drink include (cocktails and beer soft drinks) The beach is like your hotel beach so no big deal there. Not sure what the big deal is. Loads of trip boats combining and going. But an enjoyable trip away from hotel stuff.? Perfect if you like Booze Cruise it was a fun day.

A mild adventure to get there but entirely worth it. From the Paraty bus station you take the 1040T bus (leaves every hour or so) to the end to a town called Laranjeiras. The roughly 2.5km trail starts within a block of the bus stop and is incredibly well marked and easy to follow. Hike takes about 45 minutes at a decent pace. At the top of the trail, right before you head down into the beach, you are treated to a postcard-perfect view; my wife and I look photoshopped it looks so beautiful. Once you descend you're treated to 1km of sugar-soft sand with a few beach bars and if you come during high season (we didn't), what looks like a restaurant or two (closed during "winter").
From there I'd highly recommend hiking to the next beach, Dos Antigos. To get there hike to the end of Sono and you'll see the trail head; it's a steep climb but once you're at the top it's pretty easy the rest of the way. Dos Antigos is even more deserted and in my opinion, even more beautiful. From there you can go to a smaller third beach.
If you're into meditation go to these two beaches. They will be the memory you use to find that peaceful zen capable of guiding you through even the most hectic of corporate situations.

To get to this beach you have to either come by boat or you can do what we did. Get the bus from Paraty and then walk nearly one hour to the beach through woods. It is a great walk and a great start to the day.
The beach is lovely and quite quiet.
After a few hours on the beach we ate lunch at a restaurant run by two ladies (there are only a couple of restaurants) We had a really nice fish stew and I would recommend it.
You can either walk back to the bus or get a boat back to another place nearer the bus stop.

Getting here is a bit difficult, but definitely worthwhile. You must drive to Laranjeiras Condominium (coming from Paraty driving towards Santos, turn left at trindade, drive up a hill, at the top the road to the right takes you down to Trindaded, whereas the road on the left takes you to Laranjeiras). Once in Laranjeiras park and either take a minivan to the port, or walk through the jungle (about 45 mins). At the port there are boats that will take you out to the beach (15 mins) at 30 reals per person return fare.
The beach beautiful, the water is pristine, and there are several small cafes on the beach. I recommend Janny's place it's in the middle and it's called Casa da Empada, great sandwiches, cold beer and the owner knows the history of the place very well.

This is the best beach in the region. A one hour walk, in a low difficult trail, will take you to a paradisiac beach, with few people, lots of green, plenty of space in the sand to lay down and relax, looking at the beautiful ocean. It is definitely worth it. If you'd like, you can do another half an hour trail, but a harder one, to Antigos beach, at the end of Sono. Important: take an insect repellent, as you'll spend at least two hours inside the woods

Man, this beach is something. My best time in one month in Brazil was spent there. The 1h walk to the beach is beautiful and the beach itself is great (sands, water, waves, river). Nice restaurants as well. We took the boat to go back as it is faster - to enjoy the beach longer in winter. 30 BRL is what we paid.

You can reach this beach by boat or by foot. Try walking, to enjoy a nice forest and great views. It is not that hard. Great place to swim and plenty of shade to escape from the sun. Halfway the beach there is a nice restaurant called Encontro de Artes, that serves a good basic meal.

If you are looking for a private beach - this is the place to go!
Go there by hiking (3.5 km, 60 mins approx) - beautiful surrounding and fun hike (a little slippery when wet but totally doable in flip flops).
Beach has many trees with enough shade for everyone, sweet water shower and small huts with good food!
Back, you can either walk or take the boat (35R per person).

Oie, fds que vem vou pela primeira vez pro sono. Mas estou meio preocupada de não conseguir me comunicar com os meus pais, alguém sabe informar como é o sinal de celular lá? tem alguma operadora que funciona melhor? E também, os campings tem tomadas disponíveis? Gostaria de saber também se os locais aceitam cartão de crédito, ou só dinheiro. Obrigada desde já 😝
