What makes it special
- Praia do Curral has a wide choice of kiosks and restaurants, water-sports equipment and boat-trip rentals, large trees and a children's playground; the beachfront has restrooms and showers.
- Near the beach lies the wreck of the cargo ship Aymoré, sunk in 1920, from six metres deep, now a recreational dive site.
- Praia do Curral is one of the beaches with an amphibious beach wheelchair for people with reduced mobility under the Prefeitura's Verão Acessível programme.
- Just past Curral is Praia do Veloso, quieter and more secluded, near the Veloso waterfall, which drops more than fifty metres.
What to weigh
- The beach is recommended for people who prefer livelier beaches, with music and movement, and in high season it is one of the busiest in the archipelago; the Prefeitura lists live music among its attractions. For buyers who want quiet, the property's exact position relative to the beachfront matters.
- Parking near the beach is private.
- Road access to the south runs through Piúva, at the start of the way to the south side: in May 2019 a slope collapse onto the SP-131 blocked access to the south-coast neighbourhoods for about a week.
- In July 2023 the State Government started sewage works for Praia Grande and Curral, with a new treatment plant and 1,144 household connections, and Curral has appeared among the beaches unfit for bathing in a CETESB bulletin from January 2020. It is worth confirming the property's sewer connection and checking CETESB's weekly bulletin.
