Amid lush vegetation, one finds a late afternoon
paradise. The sea is calm and warm, and at
the right end of the beach there are beautiful
multicoloured rocks flanked by untouched forest.
All schooner trips make a stop here, and Happy
Hour amid beautiful scenery, is a real fun
experience.
Divers are attracted by the lovely coral formations.
History

it provided nesting grounds for a variety
of turtles, including the ‘’Tartaruga
de Pente’’, and ‘’Tartaruga
Marinha’’, amongst others.
