The islands are for Angra as Christ the Redeemer is for Rio de Janeiro! Our best-known postcard. Their formation resembles two boots when viewed from above, so they were so baptized. The sea stream that surrounds them makes the sea around them always clear and with an immense amount of small fish. Because of its beauty, visitors who know how to swim can hardly resist a dive.

The beach is also known as Dentist's Beach, so it became famous in the early 1990s because it houses a single home, that of former President Collor's dentist, Mr. Olímpio Faissol. It is a charming beach, of white sands and calm sea, perfect for the little visitors to delight. Because it is very sheltered, it is a meeting point for boat boats from all walks, and usually on weekends, the “balladas” that happen around there are famous. Caringly called “Juruba” by the Angrenses, the legend says that it houses the “solar roof” of the region, because usually the blue sky is guaranteed in it.

Beach of the Flecha: The beach of the arrows, the generous vegetation of the surroundings makes the emerald green of the Atlantic Forest reflect in the sea that baths this beach. Location of the first restaurant of Gipóia, the traditional Bar do Luiz, its sands facilitate a walk after lunch, not losing sight of the imposing Ilha Grande and it goes and comes from the boats that circulate through our bay.

Praia da Piedade, located right on the “top of the city”, another name by which it is also known, is home to the charming Church of Our Lady of Piedade, dating from the 20th century, which hosted weddings of the islanders of Gipóia. In the low tide, a small strip of sand connects the beach to Piedade Island, famous for housing the first Caras Island of Angra. Its calm waters provide a very relaxing sea bath with a picturesque landscape! Angra dos Reis is a destination that has kept its fascination over the decades. It gained international fame in the 1980s, when it was chosen as the setting for Brazilian novels. Even with the passage of time, Angra Bay continues to attract visitors irresistibly.
