Located between Fortaleza and Cumbuco. Driving from Fortaleza towards Icarai or Cumbuco will make you pass a round about. About 100m before it you will see on your right a sign saying "Residencial - Colonia de Iparana". Here turn right and follow the road until the end, then turn left and right again and at the end you will find the stairs to the beach. Don't follow the green signs to "Praia do Pacheco".
