Boundless beach
According to the Guinness Book of Records, Praia do Cassino in Rio Grande do Sul, the 220km stretch of coastline between Barra da Lagoa dos Patos and Arroio Chuí on the Uruguay border, is the largest beach in the world.
Most of the shoreline is deserted, and today is the backdrop to migratory birds, sea lions, sand dunes, rough seas, and the wreckage of a ship that ran aground there in 1976.
