Pier Santa Luzia — Attraction in Região Geográfica Imediata de Angra dos Reis

Handy pier to go to Ilha Grande. From here you get the tours around the island or fast ferry/water taxi to other beaches away from Abraão. Some taxi boat you pay at the driver.

Enjoying the sunrise or sunset is a great experience...
