The Basics

While Praia da Lua lacks the frills of Ponta Negra, it does have just about everything you’d need for a day at the beach, including wooden picnic tables and several beach shacks selling beer and fish along the waterfront. Many visitors choose to combine some time at the beach with a visit to the nearby Vila Paraíso Seringal Museum for a look at the history of the rubber boom in Manaus.
