"For those who enjoy a challenging hike, this beach is perfect! I suggest wearing long pants and bringing insect repellent."
Renzo Marquez
"The beach is secluded, surrounded by the Atlantic Forest and offers views of Ilhabela. It is situated in the southern part of Ubatuba, near the border with Caraguatatuba.
I attempted to reach the beach by mountain bike, but the terrain was not suitable. It can only be accessed by trekking. The forest is dense, but there is a clear trail to follow.
The best option is to par..."
