Beach Nature / Park

Unwind at Baia do Sancho, a secluded beach and bay on UNESCO-protected Fernando de Noronha Island. Repeatedly voted the world's best beach, this stretch of sand lies nestled in a sheltered cove with crystal-clear emerald waters. Rocky slabs in the central part of the water support a diversity of marine life and provide excellent snorkeling opportunities. Observe sea turtles and corals, and enjoy swimming without damaging the wildlife. Accessible by boat or via a narrow staircase down the cliffs, the beach is home to native plants and birds. From February to June, rainwater forms two waterfalls spouting from the clifftop.

Flawless Beach, perfect!!! Only careful walking down those stairs are very steep. We went down the stairs with 05 and 08 years, but we've seen parents come down with infants (under 1 year).

Amazing place ... what a view ... that the beach ... really deserves the title To get to it is a little unusual ... you don't know where to go down if you don't search before, because there is no sign indicating you decide what is a yellow ladder seems a ladder of reform if it weren't a group that was there would never have known that there was beach access Sancho ... kind of scary looking that ladder positioned in a ditch among the rocks , but it's quiet descent ... well worth the arrival downstairs
