Vacation on Ilha Grande beaches - hidden bays, top resorts and recreation areas

The most popular holiday destination among travelers is Abraao Cove, which is the most beautiful on the island. The bay is protected from the wind by high mountains; incredibly beautiful and extensive sandy beaches would be there for visitors. This popular stretch of coast is characterized by well-developed infrastructure; here you can find a lot of different restaurants with outdoor terraces, bars, equipment rentals and nightclubs. There is also a great secluded area where you can sunbathe in complete privacy. Abraao Cove is perfect for fans of outdoor activities and sports entertainment, as well as for shoppers, as there are amazing stalls close to the beach.

Las Palmas Bay is a very pleasant place to stay, which is also characterized by an impressive scale. Conditionally this bay is separated into five areas: the busiest and most popular tourist destination is the beach of the same name; Mangues Beach is more secluded. It’s covered with fine white sand contrasting with sky-blue waters and tropical greenery that looms literally right up to the water's edge. Recife, Pouso and Aroeira beaches will appeal to fans of beautiful nature and those who are looking for privacy.

The island has one of the most famous beaches in the country, Lopes Mendes. Its length is about 3 kilometers; that’s an incredibly spacious and amazing beach with white sand. Despite the fact that it’s popular among holidaymakers, the coast always seems deserted due to its impressive size. This extensive beach is relatively shallow, so you can safely go for vacations with kids; even those who can’t swim would enjoy water activities there. Copyright www.orangesmile.com

Parnaioca is considered one of the most severe and, at the same time, the most beautiful beaches of the island. It’s covered with sand of golden color. That's an amazing place that attracts not only fans of staying at wild beaches, but also people interested in history. They can see the ruins of old buildings nearby, where slaves have being living. Several hundred years ago, it housed a large colony, so today Parnaioca Beach attracts fans of discoveries, rather than beach goers. It’s located at a considerable distance from busy tourist centers, so the coast is almost always empty.

The small beach called Aventureiro resembles an amazing piece of paradise; it is in great demand among fans of vacations in romantic places. Dazzling scenery and harmonious atmosphere make the beach irresistible in the eyes of tavelers. The only disadvantage of the splendid beach is complete absence of any equipment. Many tourists, on the contrary, regard this feature as a distinct advantage, as there is nothing to disturb from enjoying the natural splendor.

The length of Aventureiro beach is about 600 meters, so it won’t be difficult to find a quiet place to stay. The beach is covered with incredibly amazing silver sand, and that’s why water is of amazing cerulean hue. There are more than twenty beaches and coves on the island suitable for recreation, among which it’s possible to choose the best place for everyone. Holiday-makers should take into account that some of the beaches can be reached only by boat.
