Boldró
Boldró is a mellow alternative on Fernando de Noronha's north coast, catching the same NNW swells that light up Cacimba but with less power and intensity. The wave is perfect for longboarders or surfers looking for a more relaxed session. The beach is quieter than the main spots and offers excellent snorkeling when the surf is flat.
