Farol Beach
Praia do Farol is a peaceful place for swimming on Ilha do Mel. Stay away from the base of the lighthouse due to the current and rocks and make the most of the beach. Here on some days the sea looks like a swimming pool, with few waves and crystal clear water.
1 hour and 30 minutes
5
Fora Beach
The small Praia de Fora is one of the favorites of surfers who live and visit Ilha do Mel. Take the opportunity to explore and enter the sea if you prefer a beach with more waves.
30 minutes
6
Fortaleza N. S Dos Prazeres
This is an optional location on the tour! If you want, you can rent a bike, walk or take a boat there. It is 5 km along the practically deserted beach to the Fortress, which was built in the 18th century to protect the bay of Paranaguá. The interior has cannons and the well-preserved structure harks back to Brazil's colonial era, when pirates and enemy attacks were a constant threat.
