ARCHAEOLOGICAL MUSEUMS:
Costão do Santinho is the only resort in Brazil , which has open air Archeological Museums. The Archeological museum at Santinho Beach is home to historic patrimony, which dates back about 5 thousand years.

In this Santinho beach paradise, there are rupestrian inscriptions on the sides of the basaltic rocks, which always face the ocean. The logo of Costão do Santinho Resort and its SPA, can be seen on one of these rocks.

There is another paradisiacal retreat at the side of the Porto do Costão Marina, at Ingleses Beach. The Brunidores (Burnishers) museum is an archeological site, which has a variety of rocks, which were used to make tools and other basic stone artifacts, and it is known as Burnishers or Lithic Workshops. The resort judges that to understand and preserve this Rupestrian Art is more than an ecological attitude, it is an enormous privilege, as these inscriptions are the only vestige, which has been left consciously and voluntarily by pre-historic beings.
