Great beach in Ilhabela. Nice golden sand and good clear waters. It can get quite crowded but there is enough space. There are also food and drink options so no need to bring your own stuff unless you want to. Definitely worth a visit.

One of the coolest place in Ilhabela you are going to find people from all ages and tribes. The sand is clear, the beer is cold, the coconut water is refreshing and the water is amazing relaxing. A must to go once you are at Ilhabela. Just a note: Be careful driving on the road that leads to this beach. It is very close to deep cliffs. You can easily distracted by the beautiful nature.

We went as a ship excursion. My advice would be skip the boring city tour and go only to the beach, that is why people go to Ilhabella. I really loved the place nice calm water and very warm. Loungers on the beach and cafes all on the beach make it a really worthwhile trip.

and one of the most crowded. Clear waters, nice sand and lots of bars to eat or sip a beer. Visiting at the end of the afternoon is better as it is significantly less crowded.

it is wonderful to swim - feels like a natural swimming pool. Coconut water, comfortable tables and chairs under trees… who could ask for anything more?

It’s on the south side of the island, and it appears that it has more waves, so it is not for small children, as the surf is a little ruff for them.Certainly you can spend and afternoon sipping good beer, eating very good shrimp and cooling your self in the water

Very nice and calm beach to stay in ilhabela. The DPNY beach club is a nice place to stay during the whole day.

Ilhabela is a GREAT cruise ship stop. When getting off of the cruise ship, there is a tourist information booth and other vendors at booths selling tours. I grouped together with other cruise passengers and hired a van to take us to Curral Beach. The cost was $30R each. The ride was about 45 minutes with no traffic at a speed of about 30 MPH (not fast). It was a nice, pleasant ride through town and scenic as the road is next to the water. Curral Beach is packed with restaurants that will let you use their chairs, loungers, tables and umbrellas if you consume food or drink. We had some nice local beer and a pleasant visit. (See photo)You will read that this stop has biting flies. In December 2012, we did not experience that but we did apply bug spray. I also noticed the locals applying bug spray. The town near the tender dock is a nice size for walking around and shopping for tourist items.I hope you find this helpful!

We got the tip from a friend to go to this beach, and it was worth it! The views are beautiful, the water is clean and clear, there are bars and restaurants lining the beach, the bar that we stopped at had excellent service and friendly staff - we stayed there all day! We went back the next day aswell!!

Curral is the most fashionable beach in Ilhabela. Surrounded by tall mountains covered in lush rainforest and with a great view, Curral can get very crowded during summer holidays. Most of the year, though it is fairly quiet. A number of restaurants available including the wonderful upscale Troy, from the DPNY hotel.

Excellent infrastructure for tourists. Its waters are usually calm and transparent, soft sand, pleasant breeze. All the restaurants offer chairs, beach umbrella and some of them deck chairs. There are food options for all prices. There are all kind of restaurants in there, since simple portions until sofisticated lunchs. The price of the food and drinks use to be a little more expensive than in the other restaurants far from the beaches.

Although we went in late March, Curral Beach seemed a bit overcrowded. Maybe because there are bars, and water activities going on (i.e. banana boat, and all that stuff). If you want peace, follow to the next beach, Veloso
