A nice spot close to Barra Grande beach, at the Maraú Peninsula, is the Cachoeira do Tremembé - tremembé waterfall.

At the pier of Barra Grande, tourists can take boats or speedboats to the place, which is located somewhere between the continent and the peninsula.

During the boat trip, some stops at small islands in the way, as well in a restaurant for a very good seafood lunch are possible. 

In the way, the city of Barra Grande, the only one in the Peninsula, can be seen in the shores of the Rio da Serra, or River da Serra.

The waterfall is located in the middle of the mangrove, and boats stop at a small pier from where a small track must be done to get to the top of the waterfall.

It is not a very high waterfall, so you don´t have to climb much, but the track is not very easy. Nevertheless, the spot is very good for a refreshing dive and for taking nice pictures.
