The group was made up of three women and two men, all approximately 28 years old. According to firefighters, they live and work in the city of São Paulo.

Tourists started walking along the trail that connects the two beaches, but became disoriented because the path was closed. During the journey, they ended up heading towards the coastal region.

The Fire Department was called at around 7:50 pm. With the support of guards from a condominium in the region, the team tried to reach the group by land, but were unable to advance due to the condition of the trail and the difficulty of access.

After assessing the situation, firefighters identified that the tourists were relatively close to the sand strip and decided to rescue them by sea.

To make the operation viable, the watchmen provided two longboards. With the help of equipment, firefighters entered the water, went around the coast and managed to reach the five tourists.
