Hit the sand dunes before 9am or you will bake. The Labirinto das Falésias is the main event; spend an hour navigating the red clay corridors before jumping into the ocean. Ignore the mass-produced trinkets at the entrance and hunt for handmade sand art bottles instead. Skip the slow group transfers if you can and rent a car for more time. The 3-beaches-in-1-day tour is efficient but exhausting—pace yourself accordingly.
