Gipoia Island

Travel Guide
Gipoia Island showing a lake or waterhole and a sunset
Embark on a short boat trip to this idyllic island with a great variety of beaches for snorkelers and sunbathers.

Gipóia Island is a scenic landmass containing a selection of beaches to choose from, ranging from secluded bays and tranquil havens to sports hubs and surfing hangouts. Small restaurants serving traditional seafood dishes are dotted around the bays, whose clear water and dramatic rock formations provide stunning vistas. Go diving in the crystalline depths of the Atlantic Ocean just off the shore of this exotic island.

Get a glimpse into the island’s spectacular scenery by spending time at its many beaches. If you’re a surfer, enjoy taking on the waves along the coast. Try Vitorino Beach, which is among the island’s main strands, with restaurants, showers and lodging options.

Enjoy local seafood specialties at a restaurant and stay overnight at a beachside inn. You can also get tasty marine dishes from Fazenda Beach and Dentista Beach areas. The latter is popular with young beachgoers.

Relax at a bar or café and indulge in the lively atmosphere of Armação Beach. If you’re looking for utter serenity find it at Amaral Beach, a picturesque sandy cove without any kiosks or vendors. Bring a camera to Flechas Beach to capture the vista of the islands of Ilhas Botinas and Ilha Grande on the horizon. Go scuba diving or snorkeling in the calm and crystalline water of Amendoeiras Beach and spot colorful aquatic creatures at your feet.

Gipóia Island is a short distance across the water from the peninsula hanging off the southwestern side of Angra dos Reis. Take a boat from the town port of Angra dos Reis to get here. See nearby landmarks, including Figueira Beach, Maia Island and Praia da Vila Velha.
