Leme

Peaceful Leme is known for Pedra do Leme, a forested rocky outcropping crowned by the colonial Duque de Caxias fort, with a history museum and sweeping coastal views. From here, a path winds down to Leme Beach, a wide stretch of sand popular with surfers, fishermen and local families. Back from the seafront, residential streets are lined with traditional bakeries, relaxed bars and old-school Italian restaurants.
