Photographer’s Note

Matadeiro

Matadeiro Beach is located in a calm venue between “Lagoinha” and “Armação” and is sought after by surfers and visitors who want to rest in a more distant place, with less agitation, but strong waves. It has few bars and is located 23km away from the city’s downtown.
Matadeiro, as Armação beach, has been related to predatory whale fishing. Fishermen had the habit of preparing whale traps on that beach when its commerce was still allowed in the region. However, long time since, the practice has been abandoned and the region is now synonymous of environmental preservation on land and sea.
