Latest reviews on Grande island's beaches

Praia de Freguesia de Santana
10 Lorenzo Lira

Wonderful place!!

Pouso Beach
6 Landon Kirembo

Unfortunately, this beach seems to be more of a transit point for people heading to the more popular beach located behind the forest. However, the Ponton restaurant offers delicious food and beverages.

Beach Julia
10 Julian Jaxon

This island is a paradise! There are gorgeous coves that lead to hikes of two to four hours. Along the way, you'll traverse through the forest and jungle paths, where you'll discover even more breathtaking beaches, some of which you'll have all to yourself. 🌅

Praia de Grumixama
10 Lorenzo Armando

This beach is truly stunning and one of the most beautiful on the island. The photo doesn't do it justice as the water is absolutely breathtaking. We had been exploring the island for three days and this was definitely the most beautiful beach we had seen so far. Although we did come across some other stunning ones later on. I remember being completely impressed with this one. ❤️🇧🇷

Bananal Pequeno

The beauty of a deserted beach is simply breathtaking.
