- Praia do Dentista - Also known as Dentist’s Beach, it gained fame in the early 1990s for being home to the dentist of former President Collor, Mr. Olímpio Faissol. This charming beach features white sands and a calm sea, making it perfect for young visitors to enjoy. Its sheltered location makes it a popular spot for boats of all kinds, and the weekend parties, or “balladas,” are well-known. Affectionately called “Juruba” by locals, legend has it that it boasts the region’s “solar roof,” as blue skies are often guaranteed.
- Ilhas da Gipoia Beach - Beach of the Flecha: Known for its lush vegetation, the emerald green of the Atlantic Forest reflects in the sea that kisses this beach. Home to Gipóia’s first restaurant, the traditional Bar do Luiz, its sands invite a leisurely stroll after lunch, with views of the majestic Ilha Grande and the boats navigating the bay.

Praia Da Piedade - Also known as “the top of the city,” Praia da Piedade is home to the charming Church of Our Lady of Piedade, dating back to the 20th century, which has hosted many islander weddings. At low tide, a narrow strip of sand connects the beach to Piedade Island, famous for being the first Caras Island of Angra. Its tranquil waters offer a relaxing swim amidst a picturesque landscape!
Angra dos Reis remains a captivating destination through the decades. It gained international recognition in the 1980s as a setting for Brazilian soap operas. Despite the passage of time, Angra Bay continues to irresistibly draw visitors.
