Audio Guide of Dentista Beach

The beach is open 24 hours a day as a natural public space, but visiting during daylight hours is recommended for safety. The main access is by boat from Angra dos Reis (30-45 minute tour, about 50-100 BRL per person) or by hiking trail from Retiro Beach (1-2 hours of moderate walking). Book tours on the official Angra website.

Access to the beach is completely free, as it is a public beach. You will only pay for the boat transfer (around 50-100 BRL round trip) or parking if you go by land. Check updated prices with local agencies.

It is recommended to spend 2-4 hours swimming, snorkeling, and relaxing in its crystal-clear waters. If you combine it with the access hike, allow for half a full day. It is perfect for a short but memorable visit.

It gets its name from a local dentist who used to visit it in the 20th century, and it is famous for its turquoise waters, white sand, and unspoiled setting in the Angra dos Reis region. It is part of the natural heritage of Gipóia Island, notable for its protected marine biodiversity.

The southern summer (December to March) is ideal because of the warm weather and waters perfect for swimming, preferably in the morning to avoid crowds and wind. Avoid weekends if you are looking for peace and quiet.

It is not very accessible: the trail access is steep and uneven, and arriving by boat requires disembarking onto sand. People with reduced mobility may opt for boats with platforms, but check with operators such as those listed on TripAdvisor.

Nearby are Paraíso Beach (excellent snorkeling), Jaguanum Island, and Retiro Beach for hiking. In Angra dos Reis, explore the historic center or take a tour of the 365 islands. Pair your visit with IAudioguia audio guides for more details.

Bring sunscreen, water, snacks, and snorkeling gear; there are no services on the beach. Go with a guide or in a group for safety, and respect the environment by not leaving any trash behind. Download the IAudioguia audio guide for local stories while you explore.
