#### Swim in the warm water, visit an 18th-century church and board a catamaran for a sailing trip around Ilha Grande at this pretty beach.

Away from the bustle of Angra dos Reis’ commercial center is Bonfim Beach (Praia do Bonfim). This relaxed cove fronts a small village that sits in the shadow of hills covered with tropical rainforest. Splash around in the enticing sea of Bonfim Beach and snap postcard-worthy souvenir photographs. Attend a festival at an island church and join a cruise around the Angra dos Reis archipelago.

There’s a clean strip of soft golden sand to sit on, top up your tan and enjoy the views. You won’t find sun umbrellas or loungers here so bring a towel to lay down on. Yachts and fishing boats moor in the water and further enhance the beach’s visual appeal. The water is calm, shallow and transparent, thus ideal for taking a swim on warm, sunny days. Look down to see starfish resting on the seabed and spot schools of colorful fish.

Perched on an island a short distance from the shore is the Bonfim Church, a quaint chapel erected in 1780\. In May it hosts a festival with food stands and live music. It’s possible to swim here, although this is recommendable to strong swimmers only. Otherwise speak to the boat owners at the pier about getting a ride out to the church.

Throughout the year a catamaran departs from the pier on day and overnight trips to Ilha Grande. Relax as you sail past the beautiful landscapes of an archipelago of over 300 islands. Tours include meals, snacks and soft drinks. Ask at the tourist information office in Angra dos Reis for more details.

Bonfim Beach is just a 10-minute drive to the southwest of the city center. If you are feeling energetic walk there via paved sidewalks it takes about 40 minutes. Parking is possible on the village streets, although spaces fill up quickly on weekends and during the high season. In the village you’ll find bakeries, guesthouses, restaurants and supermarkets.

9/10 Wonderful! (958 reviews)

The location of this hotel is fantastic, especially during Carnival. It made getting around very convenient and added so much to the overall experience. What truly makes this place stand out, however, is the staff. Every interaction I had was positive. The woman at the front desk was incredibly helpful and kind she seamlessly assisted me in switching rooms and even helped me secure a last-minute ticket to the Sambadrome, which I truly appreciated. Another front desk staff member (The Black Man) went out of his way to help me find transportation to the Sambadrome when it was extremely difficult to get a taxi and multiple Uber requests were unsuccessful. When it was time to leave, a staff member (A Young Black Man) kindly carried my bags out to the taxi on my way to the airport. The team’s professionalism and willingness to help are what make this hotel deserving of five stars in terms of service. I did pay a significantly increased rate about double the usual price due to Carnival, as the hotel is advertised as five-star. Unfortunately, the property itself did not meet five-star standards. My initial room, which I understand may have been assigned due to high occupancy, was not very clean and had issues with mosquitoes and dead roaches. It felt like a room that isn’t used often. After switching, my new room was an improvement, but still did not quite meet five-star expectations. The facilities fell short of a five-star experience, the staff and location would bring me back.
