Okay, so I only know about 6 of them, so this list is slightly overhyped.
But on we go, starting with the Bonus Beach or the Mystery Beach, depending on your tolerance level.
#6: Prainha: This aptly-named "little beach" can only be reached via a LONG (3hr) hiking trail or by boat. Near Praia Formosa, but inaccessible from that beach-even during low tide.
One of the BEST places to look for fossils (as is the entire hike) and many geological studies have been made of the immediate area. The hike that leaves from Fort St. Bras has a few stops to investigate the fossils embedded in the stone & Prainha is the last best vantage point on the hike. (Beware of the steep hike back UP the mountain!)
That's all I know because I haven't been. Yet.
