  2. Ilha Comprida

    Iguape looks across a narrow strait to Ilha Comprida, a long, skinny island (86km by 3km) that shelters Iguape from the open ocean. The island is covered with gorgeous forest and has an uninterrupted beach that stretches the entire Atlantic-facing length of the island. A toll bridge now connects Iguape with the island.
