Explore the sights of Ilha Grande

Along the beach at Abraão, the island’s only town, dozens of dinghies, yachts, fishing smacks, and schooners are available for casual hire. Vacationers spend their days puttering between coves, beaches, and tiny hamlets, exploring rocky headlands, sand banks, and mangrove lagoons, returning each night to Abraão by boat or on foot.
