Praia do Aventureiro
A remote fishing-village beach on the south coast of Ilha Grande, famous for a coconut palm leaning out over the sea; visitor numbers are limited, giving it a rustic atmosphere.
Aventureiro lies on the southwest of Ilha Grande, beside the Praia do Sul Biological Reserve. The water is clear, and a coconut palm stretching horizontally over the sand is one of the island's most photographed sights. This is a traditional caiçara fishing village. The state park limits the number of overnight visitors, so camping or staying in a guesthouse requires advance booking. It is about two hours by boat from Abraão, depending on sea conditions, or you can reach it by boat from Angra dos Reis or Conceição de Jacareí. It can also be reached on foot during a multi-day hike along the island's circuit trail.
