praia grossa is a
small beach visible on the left while arriving and docking into
paquetá via the
main boat lines.owing the name grossa (rough) to the roughness of
the sand on this side of the island, this beach is normally not used
for swimming.
rather, this is one of the most popular beaches on
paquetá for residents to station their boats - in fact, the
paquetá iate club (paquetá's
yacht club) is also based next to praia grossa.
