Ilha das Cabras and Pedras Miúdas

The islet lies in front of Praia das Pedras Miúdas. The area is part of a protected underwater ecological sanctuary and is known for observing fish and other marine organisms.

One of the most accessible dive spots

Its proximity to the main road and beach facilities make the area a gateway for snorkeling and diving. Local operators offer experiences and equipment depending on the day’s conditions.

What to observe

Clear water can provide good visibility of marine life, but transparency and visibility vary with rain, wind, currents and resuspended sediment.

Conservation

In diving areas, best practice is to observe without touching, feeding or removing organisms. The experience is more valuable when the environment remains intact for those who come after.
