Pousada e Camping Sol a Sol

As you're right in the middle of coastal Cidreira, you're within easy reach of several good restaurants serving typical south Brazilian fayre of rice, beans and grilled meat – or churrasco – and the local favourite of Yerba Mate-style chimarrão tea. A mere three blocks away lies Cidreira Beach and its dunes and salt marshes, so you're really never very far from options for fishing, birdwatching and general lolling around. Quintão beach, half an hour's drive away, is another good spot for anglers and ornithologists to ply their trade. Peaceful Rondinha Lake, very nearby in Balneário Pinhal, stretches across almost nine square kilometres and is in places nearly four metres deep, so it makes for a popular haunt with bathers and boating enthusiasts. Lifeguarded during the summer months and being served by eco-friendly toilets, the lake, its clear waters and fine sands make it a popular place for young families who prefer to opt for the safety of a calm, waveless lagoon to have their family fun at. It's a different story across the road at windy Fortaleza Lake, however, where windsurfers and kite surfers enjoy strong winds for sporty beach antics.
