Stop 1

Botinas Islands: the islands are for Angra as Christ the Redeemer is for Rio de Janeiro! Our best-known postcard. Their formation resembles two boots when viewed from above, so they were so baptized. The sea stream that surrounds them makes the sea around them always clear and with an immense amount of small fish. Because of its beauty, visitors who know how to swim can hardly resist a dive. Is there a slice left for breakfast? Take it in the bag, the little fish will like it.

Beach of Araçá: Beach of Araçá: Simply charming, this small and quiet strip of sand surrounded by large stones and preserved Atlantic Forest. With access by the sea or, for those who come from Parroquia de Santana by trail – way of approximately 10min, passing through the famous church of the late 19th century, nature lovers who prefer a place to relax will find on-size. With a golden tone of its beach, it has, in addition to calm and crystal clear waters, the perfect atmosphere that relaxing sea bath. Another ideal place to rest in the shade of a tree and admire the sunset.

Beach of the Arrows: The beach of the arrows, the generous vegetation of the surroundings makes the emerald green of the Atlantic Forest reflect in the sea that baths this beach.
