Praia das Enchovas (São Paulo) is located outside the Bonete settlement, which may cause some difficulties for travelers who stay far from the coast. However, the remoteness from the village is not always a bad thing. Lovers of quiet rest know, the farther the beach, the fewer crowds.

The beach stretches on the coast of the Ilhabela island and the correct question is not how to get to Praia das Enchovas, but what mode of transport can be used to get to it, because this part of the coast is inaccessible by land. The beach can only be reached by water and you have to rent a boat to get there.

User reviews

"Excellent Beach!!! But not for diving or swimming, it has a wonderful feature of rocks, lots of rocks, interesting to visit and worth it!!!!!"

Doriedson Campanhan

"It's not the prettiest beach, but it has an AMAZING waterfall that flows into the sea, and a delicious natural pool. It is quite isolated, so there are no facilities. Ideally, you should bring food and water. To get to Bonete Beach, you take a 3km trail that takes about an hour to complete. It's easy but with a lot of climbs and can be slippery depending on the day."
