What travellers are saying
- Tércio SantanaSao Paulo, SP1 349 contributionsif you're in ilha bela make sure to visit this amazing beach. it's one of the most beautiful I have ever been to. the calmness, quietness and scenic view are the perfect combination for a great time. the beach is just the entrance to a tiny village, filled with hostels and tiny restaurants amongst private houses. the whole place is amazing and you get there by boat or via a trail (~15K). we were lucky enough to be there on a sunny and hot day. it was just perfect. we'll be back for sure!Written 9 January 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Mark TanakaLima, Peru37 contributionsA “must visit” place if you’re in Ilhabela. Forget your cellphone and enjoy a JOMO time relaxing on the beach with a cold caipirinha. There are also a good variety of finger foods in the small restaurants.Written 14 November 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Bud CranorLas Vegas, NV13 contributionsIf you are on Ihlabela, do not miss this amazing little waterfall and its accompanying pools. Nestled in hills above the city, there is a parking lot, shop and staff to help you. While we brought our own bug spray, we really appreciated the amazing mosquito repellent station at the trailhead to help with insects, too. This is easily accessible for those who might be less mobile, and it is a beautiful, fun experience complete with some natural rock slides, refreshing pools, gorgeous scenery and cool little waterfalls. Very glad we went!Written 12 March 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Rana SAmman, Jordan30 contributionsFamily friendly with good restaurants. Be careful of mosquitos though. You must use a repellent heavily.Written 22 April 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- M FreitasSao Paulo, SP5 contributionsThe sea was very calm on the day we went. It's a very nice beach in the South coast of Ilhabela. There are some kiosk, but the best one is at the end of the beach, Restaurante Julião. There is a charge to use their facilities, but it is deductible from the total bill.Written 22 August 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Peter B61 contributionsNice surroundings and friendly people at this public beach - parking is limited but we'll worth the walkWritten 17 January 2017This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Kellen SSao Leopoldo, RS214 contributionsWe took a cooler, some beers, one speaker and made it a great time.
There is some tables and chairs so you can also do a picnic.Written 3 August 2016This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

We have a house that is just a few hundred meters from this place (as well as Praia Juliao, which is even a nice beacher) but we usually end-up going to Praia Grande because of the support services.Written 9 November 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- midwaytoheavenMidway, UT3 026 contributionsThis was a unique stop on our tour of Ilhabela here at Sino Beach. The real attraction here are the bell ringing rocks that are found here. I have never seen this phenomena of lithophonic rocks, or ringing bell rocks before. Worth seeing for yourself.
BOTTOM LINE: This was a city tour stop for us and it was pretty cool. When you hit the large rocks with a small hand sized rock at the end of the walkway it sounds like the ringing of a bell. Each large bolder sounds different. The beach here is very nice with calm waters. Vendors offer umbrellas, chairs and tables to rent. The water is perfect for families with kids. There is also a nice restaurant located here also. MY RATING: 8/10Written 25 February 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Wouldn’t call them spectacular but at least entrance is freeWritten 24 December 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Flavio SPindamonhangaba, São Paulo, Brazil10 contributionsrented a little fisherman boat, which was pure adventure from a nearby beach called Jabacoara. We were the only couple to arrive at 10 am. We felt like castaways! Soon our sense of being completely away from everything disappear: about 15 yachts were stopped in front of the beach an hour later. Good moments don't last forever.Written 10 January 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Cwab2 contributionsJust keep going. It’s classic. Would recommend. 10/10. Get amongst it.
You’ll say, thanks Christian and James for this recommendation.
We’ll say, no problem.Written 10 February 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
