  Botinas Islands These two small stone islands are a paradise-like setting. Almost like twins, the Botinas Islands have calm, colorful seas and are a great spot for snorkeling. The attraction is not located on Ilha Grande, but it is part of the bay that surrounds the island and is certainly worth a visit. The white sand bottom and the transparency of the water make the sea seem much shallower than it actually is. Don't be fooled. The region around the islands can be up to 10 m deep.

  Dentista Beach The incredibly white and fine sand forms waves amidst the forest. The design of the beach is a whim of nature, which alternates green and white in waves that shape this one of the most spectacular beaches in the region. Located on Gipóia Island, Dentista Beach is a scene that enchants all visitors. With calm, extremely clear waters and intense colors that vary according to the sky, this is a must-see beach for anyone visiting Ilha Grande. Dentista Beach, on weekdays, is completely deserted, with no kiosks or street vendors. On weekends, it receives a lively crowd, who arrive on yachts and speedboats to enjoy paradise. When the crowds are high, boats with bars serve drinks to visitors.

  Famous for having already been the headquarters of Caras Island, Praia da Piedade enchants with the bucolic look and the beautiful nature that surrounds it. Located on Gipóia Island, near Ilha Grande, this small beach offers a strip of sand with shallow sea on both sides. Perfect for families with children. The Church of Mercy is located at the top of the beach. Overlooking the sea, it is the perfect setting for romantic couples seeking a spectacular place to get married. At the other end of the strip of sand lies the complex of houses once frequented by celebrities.

  With an extensive stretch of sand, Praia das Flechas — located on Ilha da Gipóia — manages to please both those looking for a quiet place and those who prefer the infrastructure of kiosks and restaurants. In the left corner, the beach is completely preserved and without buildings. Already from the middle to the right corner, it offers several shops, houses and even inns. It is common for turtles to appear, accustomed to the fish thrown by the boats, near the pier. On weekdays, Praia das Flechas is usually quiet and with few boats, but on weekends the marina is full and it gets quite busy. Praia das Flechas is not on the tour routes of all agencies. It is usually part of the Paradise Islands package, which takes you to Ilha da Gipóia and other islands in Angra. ( OPTIONAL LUNCH STOP )

  Pitangueira Beach A simple and peaceful beach, it is considered one of the best places to relax on the island. It is little known by tourists, and is mostly visited by local residents. During the high season, some visitors take boat trips around the region. Surrounded by a large amount of native forest, visitors do not need to worry about a beach umbrella, as some trees provide good shade. It is a good place to relax, take a nice dip in the sea and be in touch with nature. The sea is ideal for fishing, as well as water sports such as diving and kayaking. Since there is no nearby infrastructure, it is recommended that tourists bring food and drinks to the site, remembering to take away any trash they produce.
