This stretch of sand reaches the border with Uruguay.
The Guinness Book officially recorded the title in 1994, establishing the beach’s name among the greatest natural attractions of Brazil.
In 2013, images from the Copernicus Sentinel satellite, from the European Union, confirmed the visibility of the coastline from space.
These images reinforced the unique vastness of Cassino Beach.

The entire beach enchants with its lush natural landscapes, attracting visitors year-round.
Brazil is internationally recognized for its beaches and natural beauty.
Therefore, Cassino Beach is one of its greatest symbols.
Dimension And Adventure
The stretch of sand can reach up to 200 meters in width at some points.
This creates an impressive and continuous landscape that captures the attention of those visiting the site.
Visitors can traverse its 254 kilometers on bicycles or 4×4 vehicles.

Attractions And Historical Points
Among the attractions, the crossing in the carts of the Molhes da Barra stands out, as it is considered one of the most traditional experiences in the region.
The ride is paid and lasts about 20 minutes, thus offering a panoramic and immersive view of the ocean and the extensive coastline.
Moreover, the sensation of direct contact with the wind, the sea, and the vastness of the beach makes the journey truly unmissable for any visitor.
Another important highlight is the ship Altair, which ran aground in June 1976 after facing a strong storm and, since then, has become a historical symbol and a popular photo spot.
Finally, the history of the freighter blends naturally with the landscape of Cassino Beach, creating a comprehensive itinerary that unites nature, memory, and emotion in perfect harmony.
