ABOUT
Praia Grande is the longest in Nova Brasília with 1.7 km of sand strip. It faces the open sea, with strong waves that attract surfers — especially on the left side, in front of Grajagan Surf Resort. It's the beach most frequented by island residents, who appreciate its length and sense of space. At night, informal luaus happen, especially on full moon nights. Infrastructure is minimal, with few inns at the ends.
