Ponta Mamoli
A remote bay about 15 km north of Ponta do Ouro, with a reef-sheltered lagoon good for snorkeling and turtle nesting in season.
Mamoli is a more remote bay along the reserve coastline. Nearshore reefs enclose a calm natural lagoon, and at low tide you can snorkel in shallow water to see corals and tropical fish. From roughly November to March, loggerhead and leatherback turtles come ashore to nest. Only a few high-end beach resorts and eco-cabins are here, and few people visit. It suits travelers who want complete relaxation. The only way in is by four-wheel-drive on sand tracks, about 40 minutes one way. Most visitors stay at a resort or join a day tour that includes transfers.
