Aventureiro

Aventureiro Beach is at the far southwest of Ilha Grande, in Angra dos Reis, inside the Praia do Sul State Biological Reserve, and can only be reached by boat or by trail to the caiçara village that still keeps the simple way of life of more than a hundred residents. The bottom is shallow and consistent along nearly 500 meters of fine, silvery sand, with rough water along most of the beach, except at the left end, where a small pier shelters the water.

It is the second most sought-after beach for surfing on all of Ilha Grande, behind only Lopes Mendes, and receives groups of surfers who stay at caiçara campsites authorized by the city. When the southwest wind blows, driven by cold fronts, the waves grow and can pass 4 meters, making the sea perfect for those who are prepared. Before going, it's worth registering with TurisAngra, since the island has a daily visitor limit.
