Beautiful beach, great restaurants. We came here on a boat tour from Paraty. I don't if there is any other way to get there other than a boat tour or having a boat yourself. It was lovely though!

Praia linda, um lugar super agradável !! Foi o lugar que mais gostamos das paradas para o almoço dos passeios.

Mandatory stop on the "Vuelta a Ihla" boat ride. The truth is that compared to the rest of the beaches it is the worst, they leave you alone to have lunch in a restaurant that is very expensive because they have an agreement. Luckily I brought my own food but we still had more than an hour on that little beach.

Linda, melhor ilha para ver estrelas do mar.
