Praia da Barra de Nova Caraíva captures the photogenic meeting of a tannin-dark river and the Atlantic — sandbanks, rustic fishing boats, leaning coconut palms and a backlit, car-free village. Shoot wide river-mouth panoramas, intimate portraits of fishermen and golden-hour sunsets. Access requires a short walk or boat from Caraíva (park outside the village); expect sandy trails and limited facilities. Best light: sunrise for soft side-light on palms and boats, sunset for dramatic skies and back
