Celebrated for its expansive crescent of dazzling white quartz sand and vibrant turquoise Atlantic surf, Praia do Forte is the crown jewel of the Costa do Sol resort region. This live camera captures sunbathers on the bright sand, rolling surf, and the distant silhouette of historic Forte de São Mateus. Oceanfront kiosks and seafood bistros, such as Quiosque do Mineiro and Pescador Restaurante, serve ice-cold Caipirinhas, fried squid rings (lula à dorê), and fresh Brazilian moqueca stew.
