Saco do Céu

A deep, tranquil inlet on the north coast of Ilha Grande, its surface like a mirror that reflects starlight at night, with a floating restaurant on the bay.

Saco do Céu (Sky Bay) is a narrow, nearly enclosed inlet on the north coast of Ilha Grande, surrounded by rainforest. Its waters are exceptionally still, and on clear, windless nights the stars are reflected on the surface, which gives the bay its name. During the day it is a common stop on half-circuit boat tours. Visitors can eat seafood at a floating restaurant on the bay or transfer to a small boat for nearby Japariz Beach and the small chapel at Freguesia de Santana. There are also quiet guesthouses here, ideal for travelers who want to escape the bustle of Abraão.
