Praia do Poco (São Paulo) is located outside the Castelhanos settlement, which may cause some difficulties for travelers who stay far from the coast. However, the remoteness from the village is not always a bad thing. Lovers of quiet rest know, the farther the beach, the fewer crowds.

The beach stretches on the coast of the Ilhabela island and the correct question is not how to get to Praia do Poco, but what mode of transport can be used to get to it, because this part of the coast is inaccessible by land.

There's a beach with a waterfall and a bathing pool, separated only by a narrow strip of sand. However, it's recommended to bring insect repellent.

Wow, this beach is absolutely stunning! I could definitely see myself living here. It's so hard to choose a favorite beach on this island now. By the way, my Instagram handle is @bruna_ilhabela and I came here with @conhecendo_Ilhabela, who offers personalized tours on the island.

My family and I had a fantastic time at this charming beach on a bright and sunny day. Although there is minimal development and activities available, it was still a great experience. It's important to note that there are no restroom facilities on the beach. It took us an hour to get there, but I highly recommend it.

Located at the north side of Ilhabela lopo, just after Praia da Fome, is a charming small beach made of fine stones. Adjacent to the beach is a freshwater lagoon, which leads to a beautiful waterfall if you follow it upstream. The combination of the beach, sea, waterfall, and dense forest makes for a wonderful adventure that is definitely worth experiencing. However, it's important to note that there are blackflies in the area, so come prepared if you want to fully enjoy this paradise.

If you're a fan of boating, this is definitely the beach for you! It's remote and secluded, with stunningly clear water and a natural pool complete with a waterfall. Just be sure to bring some insect repellent to keep the bugs at bay.
