Snorkeling & River Trips
Travel agencies offer snorkeling day trips to nearby reefs and islands such as Parcel das Paredes, Sebastião Gomes and Coroa Vermelha. Since most tourists head for Abrolhos, these trips rarely meet the minimum number of people required (five) for departure. River trips up the Rio Caravelas or down the Rio Caribê to the next beach town to the south, Nova Viçosa, are also possible.

Beaches
When the locals go to the beach, most head north for Praia Grauçá (10km) or the more isolated Praia Iemanjá (20km). Both have calm water colored brown with river silt. Reachable by boat are Praia Pontal do Sul (across Rio Caravelas) and the island beach Coroa da Barra (30 minutes offshore).
