Angra dos Reis

 Angra dos Reis is a village located in the Rio de Janeiro State, about 154 km away from Rio de Janeiro (the city). The beautiful green sea and its hundreds of beaches attracts tourists from all over the country all year through.

This is the Ilha da Gipóia (Gipóia Island), at Angra dos Reis. It has an urban area facing the continent and a wild side with transparent calm and warm waters. The sea is perfect for scuba diving and fishing. The access is made only by boat.

Paraty

Paraty is a small village located in the Rio de Janeiro state. It has many beautiful beaches, islands and colonial houses from the 18th century.The city receives tourists from all over the world both for its natural beauty and its cultural history.

The Portuguese settlers arrived in Paraty in the 16th century and the city developed with its coffee and sugar cane plantations. It's also famous for the "cachaça" that's produced in the city, an alcoholic drink made of sugar cane and used to make the famous Brazilian drink called "caipirinha".

This is the Praia Brava, in Arraial do Cabo, RJ. I took this picture from the top of a mountain where we had been to during our honey moon. The sunset is beautiful seen from the top of this mountain, which has a breathtaking view.

 

Cabo Frio

This is the Praia do Forte, Cabo Frio's main beach. It has beautiful very white sand and is often crowded during Summer holidays.

Scheveningen, NL

This is the only beach I've been to in Europe. I spent two whole days there. It's a very beautiful beach and I'll certainly be back when I travel to the Netherlands again.

Here I am enjoying the sun at Scheveningen.

Freeport, Bahamas

I was on a cruise to the Bahamas islands in 1984 and I fell in love with its beaches.

The sea is the most wonderful I have ever seen, blue and clear and the sand so white and so thin. Everything is so beautiful...wish I can go back there one day...
