Baía do Sueste
The best spot for snorkeling with sea turtles in calm water, with mangroves and gear rental, suitable for beginners and families.
A calm bay on the outer side of the island, with shallow, gentle water. It is the top choice for snorkeling alongside sea turtles, and juvenile lemon sharks and rays are often seen here too. The bay has mangroves, a rarity among South Atlantic islands. The visitor center rents masks and life jackets. Snorkeling is restricted to designated areas and requires a life jacket. Entry requires a national park ticket, parking is convenient, and it suits those who aren't strong swimmers.
