Latest reviews on Ilhabela island's beaches

Praia da Caveira
10 aventureiro explorador

The beach is not easily accessible due to the abundance of rocks and seaweed. However, it is an excellent spot for diving and snorkeling with a mask. A small stream runs alongside the sandy shore. There is a trail that leads from Praia da Ganxuma and Praia da Serraria, although it is not very well marked.

This beach is nice, it's not very big and the water is usually calm. However, it can get a bit busier when boats stop at the kiosk for refreshments.

Praia Pedra do Sino
10 Ling Erni

This beach is absolutely amazing! It's impeccably clean and well-organized, with a serene sea that's perfect for swimming. There are plenty of great restaurant options to choose from, but be sure to steer clear of those that charge exorbitant fees for the use of chairs and tables. Instead, head to Pedra do Sino, where you can enjoy the use of chairs and tables with umbrellas as long as you order something to eat or drink. This seems like a fair policy, as the staff are incredibly attentive and clearly work hard to maintain the beach. And don't miss the chance to hear the bell-like sound of the stone when it's struck against metal or another stone - it's truly a unique experience! Overall, I highly recommend this family-friendly beach for its excellent service and overall charm.

Please note that lifeguards supervise 8 beaches in the island, but you should rely on more than just them, remember the elementary rules, as lifeguards are not on duty around the clock, even on equipped beaches!

Finding hotels in relative proximity to the beaches is usually fine. Many beaches have enough nearby accommodation, which gives good opportunities to choose the right place to stay.

The hottest month of the island is January - air temperature during this time warms up to 26.7°C and water up to 28.2°C. The coldest month is August - air temperature drops to 21.5°C and water to 21.8°C.
