A dead Bryde's whale is removed from the Praia do Rosa beach in southern Brazil. The 13-meter male animal was pulled from the water by local government tractors and will be studied by researchers ...

With its quaint cobblestone streets, tropical foliage, and great surfing, Praia do Rosa has become a haven for local surfers and anyone looking for an off-the-beaten-path Brazilian beach getaway.

Praia do Rosa literally means “rosy beach”. The name comes not from the colour of its sand but from Dorvino Manoel da Rosa, one of the first fishermen to occupy a house by the beach in the 1970s.
