Praia da Feiticeira, Beach in Ilhabela, Brazil.
Praia da Feiticeira is a beach in Ilhabela with pale sand nestled between dense Atlantic Forest and calm ocean waters. The shoreline features rock formations scattered along the water's edge and trees that extend down toward the sand.
In the 18th century during colonial times, structures including a large farm stood near what is now this beach area. The site reflects early European settlement patterns on the island.
Local fishermen still practice their trade here, making this a working beach where daily catches influence the food served in nearby restaurants and shops.
You can reach this beach through forest hiking trails or by boat service, with both options providing different ways to arrive. Restaurants and simple lodging are located nearby for those who want to stay longer.
The name comes from a nearby waterfall reachable through a forest walk lasting about 30 minutes. This gives visitors the chance to experience both coastal and forest water features during a single visit.
