About this place
Angra dos Reis sits along the Fluminense Green Coast, a scenic stretch between São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro famed for its islands and countless beaches. The town serves as the main gateway to Ilha Grande, a car-free island with hiking trails, waterfalls, and secluded coves that attracts adventurers and beachgoers alike.
Historically a major port for goods and coffee, Angra retains a handful of old buildings while its real appeal lies offshore — crystalline waters, private islands, and a laid-back coastal rhythm. Many visitors pass through en route to Ilha Grande, but the broader bay rewards exploration by boat.

Things to Do
- Boat trips around the bay — The best way to appreciate the crystalline waters, scattered islands, and celebrity-owned private retreats.
- Hiking on Ilha Grande — Trails lead through Atlantic rainforest to hidden waterfalls and wild beaches away from any roads.
- Beach-hopping — With roughly two thousand beaches in the municipality, you can find everything from busy social sands to completely deserted strips.
- Snorkeling and swimming — Clear, calm waters around the islands make for excellent casual snorkeling directly from the shore or a boat.
- Explore the historic center — A handful of buildings recall Angra's past as a busy colonial-era port and coffee-trade hub.

Planning Tips
- Book the right location — If you're just overnighting for the Ilha Grande ferry, choose a simple place downtown near the port, not a remote beach resort.
- Travel by boat — The bay and its islands are best seen from the water; plan at least one boat excursion.
- Pack layers for Ilha Grande — Evenings cool down, and trail hiking demands sturdy shoes and rain protection.
- Check current safety information — Consult official travel advisories for up‑to‑date guidance on local security.
