Conceição da Barra
Spend a day on the beaches and lighthouse, stay one night in town; extend only for Carnaval or a trip to Itaúnas.
Conceição da Barra is a small coastal town in Espírito Santo with several beaches, a historic lighthouse and the Maria Fumaça tourist train. Most sights are within walking distance, so a single day covers the basics; an overnight stay lets you enjoy the evening beach vibe or attend the lively Carnaval celebration.
