Praia do Boldró

Praia do Boldró is a 1.4 kilometer (roughly 0.9 mile) sandy beach with clear water and rock formations at both ends. Pools form naturally at low tide between the rocks, with Morro do Pico rising in the distance.

The beach sits near Fortinho do Boldró, a colonial-era military fort built to defend the island. The fort reveals how strategically important this location was for protecting the archipelago.

Local fishermen use the beach to repair nets and land their catches, making it an active part of daily island life. This working waterfront connects visitors with the practical side of how the archipelago sustains itself.

Taxis from Vila dos Remédios or public buses to Vila do Boldró bring you to the beach easily. Once there, simple paths lead down to the sand.

When the tide comes in, a natural lagoon forms on the beach where tropical fish gather and can be watched. This creates an easy way to see marine life without needing to snorkel or dive.
