Surf: Atalaia is the centre of the Salinas scene with long stretches of mushy beachbreak best on N/NE swells pushed in by a rising tide. Bigger and more consistent than most Pará waves, the sand dunes provide more sandbars in the surf and it attracts big beach crowds during holidays. Environment: Around the headland, Praia do Farol Velho might have some smaller righthand runners.
