Praia Municipal Pôr-do-Sol is an artificial river beach situated on the banks of the Tietê River in Pereira Barreto, São Paulo. The beach is formed by the reservoir of the Três Irmãos Hydroelectric Plant, resulting in calm, freshwater conditions. It features extensive sandy stretches and a structural design prioritizing recreational space for swimming and water sports. The site includes integrated infrastructure such as kiosks, restrooms, and designated areas for community events. It is a focal point for the regional tourism sector due to its organized urban integration within the Floriana district.

Utilize the designated kiosk areas for food and beverages to support local vendors.
Avoid entering the water outside of the designated buoyed areas due to varying depths and reservoir currents.
