The morning light hits the sand like a fresh page as riders push off along packed beaches and pine-lined tracks. Fat tires chew through soft sand, the Red River threads through low scrub and restless currents dare you to slow down; guides point out a recovery project where birds and reptiles recover before returning to the wild.
This short circuit threads Lagoa da Conceição and Praia do Moçambique, places shaped by coastal dunes, restinga vegetation and decades of fishing and surf culture. Geologically the area is coastal plain and dune systems atop older granitic bedrock, which creates abrupt transitions between pine forest, wetland and open beach. Locals tie fishing heritage to conservation: small-scale fisheries and protected patches balance recreation and habitat.
Expect a 10+ km loop on mixed terrain — sandy stretches, packed beach, short singletrack through pine and restinga, and rustic bridges over small streams. Guides offer interpretative walks at the environmental reserve headquarters and a picnic mid-ride; fat bikes give stability on soft sand and loose surfaces.
Practical guidance: arrive hydrated and with sunscreen; the route can be exposed midday. Follow guide instructions for riding on dunes to avoid erosion. A moderate pace suits beginners with basic bike-handling skills; riders above 120 kg will not be accepted. Bring a small daypack, reef-safe sunscreen, and shoes you don’t mind getting sandy. Morning departures avoid the strongest winds and make wildlife sightings — herons, thin-skinned crabs and the odd lapwing — more likely. The tour is an accessible, active way to connect with Floripa’s coastal ecosystems while learning local conservation efforts.
