Lagoinha do Leste
The most beautiful wild beach on the island, reachable only on foot. A small lagoon lies right beside the sea, and the lookout on Morro da Coroa offers a panoramic view.
This pristine beach lies inside a natural park with no road access. You can reach it on foot from Pântano do Sul in about 1 to 1.5 hours, climbing uphill through forest, or from Armação along the coastal trail in about 2 hours. Behind the beach is a small freshwater lagoon for swimming. The lookout on Morro da Coroa beside the beach offers the classic postcard view. There are no shops and no cell signal, so bring plenty of water and food, and head back before dusk.
