Barra Velha

Ilhabela

The northern coast of the state of São Paulo, Brazil, is certainly too underestimated when it comes to beaches. Many - maybe most - proud paulistas often disdain the beaches in in the neighbour state of Rio de Janeiro and strongly believe that São Paulo's beaches to be more beautiful than those in Rio. In fact, they are right!  You can verify it, for example, when you're on the ferry that links the cities of São Sebastião and Ilhabela.

We enjoyed this place so much we had to be back after one week! Minor power interruption due to weather, this forced us to change dinner plans elsewhere and dine in the hotels restaurant. What a wonderful thing! So glad we now know they also have great food right there, no need to drive.
