Praia Outeiro

Praia Outeiro Review

The closest ocean beach to Belém is Salinas, a four-hour drive. River beaches like Outeiro and those at Ilha Mosqueiro are much closer. Depending on the season and time of day, river beaches are either expansive stretches or narrow strips of soft sand. Currents are rarely strong, and there's usually a large area of shallow water. Outeiro is generally crowded. The shoreline is eroded and dirty in places, but the swimming is good if you can handle muddy water. Restaurants line the beach with tables under trees. These are great places to have a cold drink and snack on freshly boiled crabs, quail eggs, and salted shrimp.
