A paradise for fishing and surfing, the beach Praia de Fora is a true hideaway in the middle of Ganchos’ Bay. This trek is easy for everyone, going from Ganchos de Fora Beach, following a small trail along the native Atlantic Rainforest. Praia de Fora has a 100 meters stretch of bright white sand, from where you can see Ilha Grande and Palmas Beach. It’s known as the place to watch the most beautiful sunrise in the region, and in June and July, at dusk and at dawning, you can see the local fishermen use traditional methods to haul in schools of mullet, a regional and seasonal delicacy.

After about an-hour walk, you will arrive at Praia dos Ilhéus, which can only be reached by trails. This deserted beach is the ideal spot for surfing.
