Wonderful beach with crystal clear water. Nice waves ranging from small to big, making for a fun time in the ocean. Life guards on duty too, and they made me feel extra safe. Very hot day, but many spots in the shade to sit. Only negative thing is that it is a bit of a walk to get to the beach, and it can be specially tedious after going in the ocean and being salty. Overall a very good beach!

Beautiful beach. Waves gorgeous. Definitely go here if you are at Ihla Grande, Brazil. Need to do a short hike in. or you can take an alternative road-like way in which takes a longer time. Either way, boat access to nearby beach.

Best way to get there was by boat, which cost about 70 reais from Abraão to Pouso beach. It's also one of the easiest destinations to go, considering the amount of companies offering this route. Between Pouso and Lopes Mendes, there's a short hike of about 30 minutes, nothing too complicated but it's part uphill and part downhill, so keep an eye out for some mud spots that can make the path more slippery. It doesn't demand any hiking gear or anything. The beach itself is beautiful and wasn't considered one of Brazil's most beautiful for nothing. Even so, expect minimal infrastructure, only trees as protection from the sun, and close to zero cellphone network coverage. The only person selling drinks and food there struggled to make the card machine work so it's wise to take some cash to pay for stuff. The sea is quite aggressive on the area we arrive in but gets better in the other end, even making up a great snorkeling spot with some marine life to see. Walking there is another 40 minutes or something but it's quite worth it, with an old buoy washed ashore and an abandoned church in the way.
