Expansive coastal sand dunes overlooking Joaquina Beach and Lagoa da Conceição — dramatic lines, wind-sculpted ripples and surfers in the background make striking compositional contrasts. Best at sunrise or late afternoon for warm side light and long shadows; mid-day is harsh. Accessible via short climbs from beach parking; expect crowds on weekends and strong wind. No formal entry fee; use designated paths and respect protected areas. Combine dune textures with ocean or lagoon vistas for scale.
