Learn how to get to Lopes Mendes Beach and enjoy the natural beauty of this unique place in Brazil.

Ilha Grande is a true tropical paradise located in the state of Rio de Janeiro, known for its beautiful beaches, trails, and lush nature.


Among the various beach options on the island, Lopes Mendes Beach stands out as one of the most beautiful beaches in Brazil. In this post, we'll talk a little more about this beach and the options to get there.


Lopes Mendes Beach is a beach with fine white sand, crystal-clear waters, and perfect waves for surfing. Located on the east coast of the island, the beach is surrounded by lush vegetation and mountains that make it a place of unique beauty.


To get to Lopes Mendes Beach, there are several options. The most famous trail starts from Vila do Abraão and is about 7 km long. It is considered a moderate to difficult trail, with steep and rugged sections. Therefore, it is important to be physically prepared for the walk and to bring essential equipment.


If you prefer, it is possible to hire a local guide to make the walk safer and with more information about the region.


If you want to have an exclusive walk, guided by an experienced local guide, and with the return by boat included, we have the perfect tour for you.


Another option is to arrive at Lopes Mendes Beach by boat. The boat trip usually includes a stop at Pouso Beach and a short walk of about 20 minutes to Lopes Mendes Beach. This is a convenient and safe option for those who want to enjoy the beach without worrying about the walk.


It is important to remember that Lopes Mendes Beach is a preserved beach with little infrastructure. Therefore, it is necessary to bring water, food, and bags to collect the produced garbage. This attitude helps preserve the natural beauty of the beach and ensures that future visitors can also enjoy this tropical paradise. Remember also to check the Rules of the Ilha Grande State Park.


In summary, Lopes Mendes Beach is one of the most beautiful and preserved beaches in Brazil, offering a unique experience for those seeking contact with nature and a peaceful place to relax.
