What to know about Velha Boipeba Beach
On the east coast of Boipeba Island, Velha Boipeba Beach offers a preserved natural landscape, far from mass tourism. Lined with coconut palms and dunes, it draws visitors in with its fine sand and calm, turquoise waters. It is a spot built for relaxation, perfect for those seeking an authentic and quiet setting.
Golden sand and a peaceful vibe on a preserved island
With its clear and shallow water, the beach is ideal for swimming. At low tide, sandbars emerge, creating natural pools where you can spot tropical fish. The lack of heavy surf makes it a pleasant place to unwind, taking in the wild scenery and the silence, broken only by the sound of the wind and birds.
Walks and exploration
Velha Boipeba is also a starting point for strolls along the coastline. By walking south, you reach even more isolated beaches, perfect for a moment away from it all. Inland, trails allow you to explore the mangrove and its wildlife, notably crabs and tropical birds. Boat excursions offer another perspective on the island, with stops in hidden coves.
An authentic stop
Unlike some of the more active beaches on Boipeba Island, Velha Boipeba retains a simple, local feel. A few barracas, small wooden shacks, serve fresh juices, coconuts, and local seafood dishes. Expect to pay around 20 to 40 BRL (about $4 to $8) for a fresh meal or drink here. There is no loud music or large development, just the essentials to enjoy the natural environment.
If you took the motorboat from Valença, you will arrive on Boipeba at this beach. It is very accessible if you are staying in town.
