About this experience
Discover Ilha Grande, Lopes Mendes, recognized by several tourism magazines as one of the most beautiful beaches on the planet. Delight in a day on a vast expanse of sand in a wild and exotic setting with the sun, natural shade, blue sea, and lush vegetation, a perfect combination for a day in a paradise.
After meeting your group at the meeting point in Abraão on Ilha Grande, depart for a full day in nature. Board a typical schooner that will take you to the lovely Pouso Beach, from where you'll start a short 5-minute walk to the famous, paradisiacal Lopes Mendes Beach.
Once at the beach on the south-facing ocean coast, relax and enjoy the landscape on the sand that stretches for nearly 3 kilometers (1.86 miles). Swim in the blue waters or, if you're feeling more adventurous, hit the good waves to have some fun surfing.
