Praia da Gameleira is a beach located near Barra Nova in the state of Espírito Santo, Brazil. The beach is situated within a relatively short distance from the town center of Barra Nova, which is a five-minute walk away, and is directly accessible from the Pousada Aratu hotel, which is approximately 200 meters from the shore. Parking is available for free at this hotel, suggesting a potential access point for paddlers with vehicles. The beach is part of a coastal area known for its beautiful beaches, including nearby Barra Nova Beach. The overall character of the area is suited for beach activities, with the beach being noted as a spot for watching sunsets and collecting beach glass. The water body is exposed to ocean swell, with a recent observation indicating wave heights around 0.3 meters with a period of 3 seconds from a south-southwest direction, which suggests the potential for a shore break that paddlers should assess before launching. The beach's proximity to the open ocean means it is subject to typical coastal wind and wave conditions. There are no specific paddling restrictions or regulations mentioned, nor are there detailed facilities like dedicated launch ramps, indicating a carry launch from the sand. The region experiences a tropical climate, but specific seasonal water temperature patterns, water quality details, and precise geographical characteristics of the beach are not provided.
