Barra da Lagoa is a small fishing village where the lagoon's canal meets the sea, with a surf beach, a pedestrian-friendly centre and a relaxed, close-knit feel. It has a beach-town feel with a smaller, quieter scene than Lagoa da Conceição. The main street along the canal has casual restaurants, cafes and snack shops, and several hostels sit close to the beach. It is easy to walk during the day and in the early evening. The village empties out late at night, and the paths along the canal and the beach are dark, so use a ride for late returns. Lagoa da Conceição is a short drive or bus ride away for a bigger night out.
