Great beach
Jul 2023 • Couples
Great beach short 20 monute walk over headland from the beach where the water taxi drops you. Couple of beach vendors selling basics and hiring body boards and surk boards. Then just great sand, great waves abd great scenery.

out of this world
Mar 2023 • Couples
Out of this world. We were hiking from Abroad to Lopes Mendes. With several short breaks it took about 3.5 hours through the jungle. On the way back we opted to return with speed boat like normal tourists ;)
Beach is gorgeous, sand is so soft and smooth, like flour. Also we've seen micos whom were hanging out on the trees just next to the beach. Highly recommended.

Solitude, Sun and Sand!
Mar 2022
Fantastic place to wander around.
Kilometres of sand, salt water and sun.
There was literally no one around when we were there.

Tips:
Hire a private boat trip to get there. It's faster and effective. Pick the ones with credentials from tour agencies.

Take your food and drinks. There are a few options there but - as you might imagine - very expensive.

Don't forget sunscreen and mosquito repellent and a hat.

Amazing placs
Mar 2020 • Couples
One if the most amazing places I have seen. The beach is perfect: white sand, blue water, palm trees. We chose to take a boat taxi from Abraão to get here and small 10 min hike.

I would recommend coming in the morning and spending the entire day here. The place is insanely beautiful. Being snacks and drinks, there are a few people selling stuff but not too many.

Mar 2020 • Couples
Amazing beach, took approx 3 hours to walk there from the port front through different beaches and up and down jungle trails. Lots of people wore trainers but we managed fine with flip flops!! (I imagine if its raining it would be difficult in flip flops) the beach is insane, beautiful! There are people selling drinks and snacks along the beach but best to take your own stash! And bring your camera!

Overrated
Jan 2020 • Couples
I wouldn't put this beach high on my list in Ilha Grande. We hiked here for about two and half hours in the heat and when we got there it was packed with Tourists.
Which is fine, but when you hike to a secluded beach you generally expect a bit of solitude. It wasn't really worth the effort.

The hike itself was great, but defo better b beaches on the island.
