Scalea BoatsAlso called Praia do Eustáquio, this corner of northern Ilhabela is known for transparent waters, surrounding vegetation and essentially sea-based access.
Why “Saco” do Eustáquio?
According to the city government, the name is related to the shape of the cove. Its more sheltered configuration helps create the calm-water scenery that made the place well known among people navigating the north coast.
