Ilha do Prumirim & Praia do Prumirim
Ilha do Prumirim
A small island just offshore from Prumirim Beach. It takes only a few minutes by small boat or kayak to reach, with white sand and clear water, making it a popular island-hopping spot on the north coast.
Ilha do Prumirim lies about 700 metres off Prumirim Beach in northern Ubatuba. It is privately owned but open to visitors during the day. The island has two small beaches with clear water, where you can snorkel and see schools of fish. Local fishermen on Prumirim Beach offer ferry rides to the island for about 30 to 50 reais return, or you can rent a kayak or paddleboard and paddle over yourself. Prumirim Beach itself is unspoiled and has simple seafood restaurants. The Prumirim Waterfall nearby can be visited on the way. Note: a small environmental fee is usually payable to land on the island, and kayaking is not recommended when it is windy.
