Atalanta Beach: complete guide to Boa Vista's north coast
Dunes, isolation and the Cabo Santa Maria shipwreck: everything about Atalanta Beach — how to get there, Sal Rei hotels, photography and conservation.
Access requires a 4x4 jeep from Sal Rei (about 25 minutes) or an organised tour. The road crosses dunes before dropping to the sand. No shade, drinking water or toilets — bring supplies, heavy sunscreen and closed shoes to walk among wreckage and hot sand.
Lodging is in Sal Rei: Ocean Dream BeachHouse, Hotel Dunas Boavista, AQUÁRIO Hotel, B&B Sereia Azul, BookingBoavista Apartments and Casa Vida Boa — see the full list in [[hotels|Atalanta hotels]]. Most operators combine Atalanta with ChavesSanta Mónica
