La bahía donde las tortugas verdes reinan y esconden secretos que ni los locales confesamos fácilmente.
Access is available daily from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM through the Information and Control Post. You can easily get there by bus, taxi, or buggy, and you must present your Marine National Park access card to enter.
It is not free; access requires the Marine National Park admission pass. You should buy this pass in advance; it is valid for 10 days and gives you access to this and other protected beaches on the island.
I recommend allowing between 2 and 3 hours. That is ideal for relaxed snorkeling, watching sea turtles, and unwinding on the sand without the rush of quick tours.
More than just a beach, it is a vital ecological sanctuary and a feeding area for sea turtles and reef sharks. Its mangrove and reef ecosystem makes it one of the protected marine areas with the greatest biodiversity in all of Brazil.
To see marine life at its best, try to go at high tide, when the turtles come closer to shore to feed. The dry season, from August to February, usually offers better underwater visibility.
Yes, it has one of the best infrastructures on the island thanks to the 'Noronha for Everyone' project. There are boardwalks and access to amphibious wheelchairs so that people with reduced mobility can enjoy swimming in the sea.
Very close by is the stunning Lion Beach, famous for being the main sea turtle nesting site. It is an excellent option to combine on the same day if you are looking for wilder landscapes.
Wearing a life jacket is mandatory if you want to swim in the marked area to see turtles. You can rent one there along with fins and a mask; do not go into the water without the equipment if you want to avoid fines and enjoy the full experience.
