Aventureiro
Aventureiro is Ilha Grande's most remote surf spot, a south-facing beach that catches swell blocked from the mainland by the bulk of the island. The journey here is an adventure in itself, requiring a boat trip to a tiny fishing community with basic camping facilities. When SW swells hit, the beach comes alive with uncrowded peaks in complete isolation.
