Praia Lopes Mendes, the most beautiful beach of Ilha Grande also considered as one of the top Brazilian and World beaches. What a stunning place well deserving it's reputation! The beach stretches over 3km and offer very fine white sand, amazing waves perfect for surfing and stunning views to green hills covered in Brasilia Atlantic rainforest surrounding entire place. There are strong currents so be careful and don't swim too far from the coastline.

HOW TO GET THERE There are few ways how to get there the most common is hike from Vila Abraâo. The hike is marked as T10, is about 6km long and will take you between 2 to 3 hours one way. I would really recomendad that as you will see way more that way. There are places to get some snacks on the beaches and ocasional restaurants I would still recomend pack water and some food with you. The hike goes through another three beaches. First you will hit Praia das Palmas then Praia Mangues and the last one is Pouso. From Pouso it's about another 15 minutes before stunning Praia Lopes Mendes open in front of you. If you lucky you might spot all sorts of animals on the way such as brown howler monkeys, marmosets, lizards and all sorts of birds.

For those who are not fans of hiking or you get tired after your hike to the beach, there is an option of taking a boat to or from Pouso. The cost is R$25 per person and it takes about 15min to reach Vila Abraâo. The hike from Pouso to Praia Lopes Mendes will only take you like 15-20 minutes.

Enjoy...

CUIDADO. Tener un accidente de lanchas y caer al mar es posible.

Taxi boat = mafia

La playa es HERMOSA, se llega en taxi boat y haces una caminata corta hasta Lopes Mendes de solo 20-25 minutos. El problema son los taxi boat. Cuando regresábamos tuvimos un accidente fuerte. Nuestra embarcación impactó a alta velocidad contra otra que cruzaba delante. El conductor venía grabando un vídeo con su móvil sin mirar hacia adelante. Nuestra embarcación casi se da vuelta, ingreso muchísima agua a la cubierta pero por suerte no se rompió el casco. En el impacto CAYO UNA NIÑA DE 6 AÑOS AL MAR y su padre también. Nadie llevaba salvavidas puesto. Además de ellos, también cayeron sus pertenencias. Nuestra embarcación quedó imposibilitada de continuar la marcha por una avería en el motor. En los minutos siguientes muchas embarcaciones se acercaron a preguntar qué nos ocurría y el conductor mentía. Nos dimos cuenta porque solo dos personas hablaban portugués, ellos nos alertaron de sus mentiras y comenzamos a reclamarle. El chico quería que nadie se dé cuenta de lo ocurrido. Entonces fue que quedamos esperando UNA HORA que nos vengan a ayudar (siendo que el tiempo de Vila do Abraão a Lopes Mendes es 15 minutos). Todo gracias a este estúpido mentiroso. Quisimos denunciar el hecho cuando llegamos a la Vila, pero la policía se maneja en modo MAFIA con estos amigos que manejan los taxi boat. Ni bien llegamos al muelle, remolcados por otro taxi boat, empezaron a llegar LOS MUCHACHOS. Nos rodearon para pedirnos disculpas y ofrecernos el dinero de regreso dado el "inconveniente". Se lo aceptamos y nos dirigimos a la comisaría para acompañar al papá con su niña, que había perdido la posibilidad de comunicarse ya que su móvil se había mojado. Estos MUCHACHOS nos "escoltaron", no sin antes tener una discusión muy muy pasada de tono con ellos, dónde uno quiso hacerme callar diciendo que este no era mi país y que las reglas no las ponía yo (?). Cuando llegamos todos a la comisaría, nos seguían 12 a 15 personas. Uno de ellos entró antes que nadie, hablo con la policía y luego salieron juntos. El policía dijo que ellos no podían registrar ninguna denuncia porque no había lesionados. Y al muchacho le dijo que lleve sus pertenencias mojadas, supuestamente para gestionar un resarcimiento. Pero el papá de la niña fue increpado por uno de ellos DELANTE DE LA POLICÍA. el sujeto que se bajó de la bici y lo amenazó se llama THIAGO. Por ende desistió de su reclamo por miedo y nos fuimos.

Ahora es cuando me pregunto si esto fue un evento aislado o pasa más de lo normal y no trasciende dado que tienen todo armado con la policía.

La buena noticia es que para hacer excursiones como Islas Paradisíacas y otras no es necesario contratar servicios de estos sujetos. Hay operadoras con botes propios. Pero para ir a las playas cercanas, no hay otra alternativa. Es eso o caminar...

Very long sandy beach. Apparently once voted among the best beaches in the world but I don't see why, as it is not very special or photogenic.

The life guards mark most of the beach unsafe to swim and only leave a small part open in front of their watch tower. But that part is so shallow that it's not possible to swim there and beyond that there are huge waves so again not swimmable.

The best thing about the beach is that it is so big you can find a spot with no one around. The trail to get there from the drop off point is about 20 minutes and you can see some cute looking monkeys there if...

🇧🇴La vida para por momentos cuando tienes estos lugares solo para ti. Un buen recordatorio de que los lugares hermosos a veces se experimentan después de un poco de incomodidad. Solo dormimos 5 horas y un viaje en bote incómodo por 30 minutos… pero lo haría todo de nuevo. Difícil de superar siendo los únicos en la playa de Lopes Méndez disfrutando de la vista @corona - 🇺🇸Life seems to slow down when you have these places all to yourself. A good reminder that beautiful places are sometimes experienced after some discomfort. Here it was 5 hours of sleep and a bumpy 30 min boat ride. I’ll do it all over again though…Hard to beat being the only ones in Lopes Mendez beach enjoying the view - #reels #trending #beautifuldestinations #earthpix #instagramreels
