Beautiful, but not only that. It is one of the most pleasant lagoons around Santo Amaro, with warm water in shades of blue. On one shore there is a beach where the water stays shallow for several metres into the lagoon — which is why it is a favourite with children.

On the other side, a large steep dune ends in the water, and some people roll or slide down it into the lagoon. There it is deeper, 2 to 3 metres on average.

Piscininha can be visited on the same tour as the municipal park lagoons or with Lagoa do Junco or Cajueirinho. It is also a good option for a night visit.

Photos

Always enter the park with an accredited guide. Never jump from the dunes into the water, especially head first, and ask the guide which areas are safest for swimming — above all with children. Read our Lençóis Safety guide.
