ribeirao da ilha

This is the most picturesque village from the Azores on the island. There are some beautifully coloured houses there. The church is really worth seeing as well. The beach is very small but there are no waves as it is on the west coast. There are also many great restaurants and cafes. This is a place for oysters.

Oysters, oysters and more oysters. Nice restaurants, great beach for kids, colonial architecture. Make reservations

We came through Ribeirao da Ilha and I thought it was such a cute, old town! Lots of colourful buildings. Nothing in particular to do here that I am aware of but I like to go through little historical towns. I believe we ate at a restaurant here on the shore, yummy seafood!

What I like about this is that it is a break from just the beaches at Floripa.The colonial houses are really cute and worthwhile to stop by (and take some ) pictures if you are around the area.

Great, older traditional fishing village that has added many tourist type attractions for visitors. Fishing, jet-skis, boating, windsurfing, are all available. Restaurants of all types available for all budgets.

Old village in the south of Santa Catarina Island. A big influence of the azorean colonization. Small and charming church in the village square and very nice fish and seafood restaurants.

Ribeirao da Ilha is one of those villages which you see on photos in travel magazines or post cards. It's a beautiful, portuguese style, small village in the south west of the island, which is totally different from all the other parts of Florianopolis. The small houses, cobble stone streets, fishermen and the amazing restaurants make this a little treasure on the big Santa Catarina Island. Pick a morning or afternoon and ride by care or bus to the town, bot very easy! And make sure to include lunch hour in your visit to try the oysters for which Ribeirao da Ilha is famous in Brazil. Don't be shy and try some special oysters with melted cheese or ginger for example. Make sure to bring your camera to take some beautifull photos of the town and of your lunch!

This place has an atmosphere like you are in another scene! There is colorful house and a old church from 1800's. Fantastic!

I love this beach. Not only for the beach itself, but the surroundings, which emanates history and simplicity. I lived there for almost 2 years and I miss it, even though I occasionally go to my old home and stay there for a few days, great to recover the energy. Looks like a remote place, very friendly to families and kids. Nearby restaurants sell very good seafood at reasonable prices (esp. at low season). Not crowded at all. It just looks like a piece of a small ancient town.Very worth it.

Went to restaurant Ostradum on Ribeirao da Ilha. The area is very cozy, lot's of small houses, very different style from what else you'll see on the Island of Florianopolis.

Don't miss a meal at Ostradamous, a top-quality restaurant in anyone's book. The town is very charming, with colored houses and a beautiful old church (currently undergoing restoration). Definitely worth a visit if you are an oyster-lover, as this is the heart of the oyster producing region.

A gorgeous little village at the southern end of the Ilha de Santa Catarina. Beautiful little Azorean fishermen's cottages, gentle waves lapping on the (small) beach, restaurants along the water's edge. A quiet place that feels a world away from the city, when it's actually only a few kilometres from the airport and maybe half an hour from the city of Florianopolis.

With historic buildings and very nice restaurants, Ribeirão da Ilha is perfect to eat some oysters.
