What makes it special
- Praia da Feiticeira has about 250 metres of sand surrounded by preserved vegetation, and the Prefeitura's beach guide mentions historic houses along the shore and a sea with little swell at low tide.
- The Três Tombos waterfall is close to the beach, reached by a short trail that the Prefeitura considers one of the easiest on the island.
- The Feiticeira pier was rebuilt by the Prefeitura and reopened in January 2024, with a new wooden deck, new railings and new lighting.
- The name comes from the legend of the Feiticeira (the sorceress): in the best-known version, cited by the Prefeitura, a former owner of the land grew rich trading with smugglers and sailors.
What to weigh
- In high season, from September to March, the beach usually draws large crowds; the sand is reached by a path on foot, and bus riders get off on the main road and walk a stretch (Prefeitura, 42 beaches).
- 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 there blocked the road to the south-coast neighbourhoods for about a week, and the Prefeitura laid on boat transport for residents.
- Sanitation was still expanding: in 2022 the Prefeitura was building the ETE I treatment plant in Feiticeira, to serve about 4,000 residents from Piúva to Julião, and Feiticeira 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.

- Families who want a calm-water beach and an easy trail on foot, without needing the car for everyday leisure.
