Insider Tips

  • Rent a car — public transport between beaches is slow and infrequent
  • Praia Mole is the main surf and party beach; Lagoinha do Leste is the empty hidden one
  • Ribeirão da Ilha is the oyster-farming southern village — best seafood lunch on the island
  • Avoid Christmas-New Year unless you want crowds; January is the locals-favourite month
