Pedra da Baleia is a whale-shaped coastal rock on Matinhos beach—excellent for dramatic shoreline compositions, tidal pools and silhouettes against sunrise or sunset. Best visited at low tide for foreground textures and at golden hour for warm side lighting. Easy roadside access and informal parking; no entrance fee. Weekday mornings are quieter. Respect local beach rules and avoid climbing after rain when surfaces are slippery.
