Baía dos Porcos Beach

Little more than a cove, Baia dos Porcos is one of the smallest named beaches in the Fernando de Noronha archipelago, stretching for just a few tens of metres. Surrounded by black rocks of volcanic origin, the bay is only reachable at low time, by crossing a promontory from Praia Cacimba do Padre.

As well as gorgeous views of the Morros Dois Irmãos, or Two Brothers islets, the waters of the Atlantic are calm enough here for swimmers to enjoy getting themselves wet. Being enclosed within the bounds of the archipelago’s national marine park means its waters are both clear and full of fish, making it a good option for aficionados of snorkelling too.
