Finding Her Brazilian Groove
BRAZILIANS
love their beaches as much as Russians love their banyas and the
English love their pubs. That's why, in Brazil, the quest for the
perfect stretch of sand is a national obsession.
Conventional
wisdom says that Ipanema is the mother of all beach parties; the bossa
nova classic proves it. The shores around Salvador in the northeast
boast postcard-perfect views and a rich Afro-Brazilian heritage. The
cognoscenti flock to the sands of Búzios, made famous by Brigitte
Bardot.
But my vote goes to the coast of Santa Catarina state,
some 400 miles down the coast from Rio de Janeiro, where the beaches
offer world-class surfing breaks and a bohemian vibe - think Hawaii,
circa 1983 - that make this Brazil's up-and-coming
region.
