When to visit Barra Grande?

The best time to visit Barra Grande Beach is during the dry season, between September and February, when the chances of rain are lower and the weather is more favorable.

The low season is also a great time to discover Barra Grande, between March and August, when low tides are more frequent, allowing for a more relaxed exploration of the natural pools and the Moses Path.

It is essential to consult the Maragogi’s tide chart, as the natural phenomenon of the Moses Path only occurs at low tide, making this condition crucial for planning your visit.

If you wish to avoid crowds, it is advisable to avoid holidays and the period from December to Carnival, when the region receives a large influx of tourists.

For those looking to enjoy the warm weather and inviting waters of the natural pools, the months from November to March are ideal, with average temperatures between 28 °C and 30 °C.
