The local experience
The name comes from the four ocean islands visible from the sand: Galé, Deserta, Arvoredo and Macuco. The left end has calm water, good for snorkeling and stand-up paddleboarding, and the right end gets waves sought after by surfers.
Discover Praia de Quatro Ilhas
A high point on the Bombinhas peninsula, reached by a short trail, with a 360-degree view over beaches and islands. Sunrise and sunset from there are the most sought-after in the region.
A small cove with calm, clear water, reached by a trail of about 200 meters at the end of Avenida das Garoupas. It is a spot for snorkeling and scuba diving, with colorful fish and an underwater sculpture by the artist Pita Camargo.
A protected marine area with clear water, considered one of the best dive spots in southern Brazil. Trips leave from Bombinhas and reveal schools of fish, sea turtles and rays.
Discover Reserva Biológica Marinha do Arvoredo
A long beach with a calmer sea at the entrance to the peninsula, good for families and for walking on the sand at dawn. It has pousadas (guesthouses), kiosks and facilities for anyone spending several days in the area.
