Edit SpotAbout
The spot is surrounded by rain forest. Mindblowing tropical-paradise landscape.
Atmosphere:
Great spot. Perfect right wedgy barrels. Since it´s hard to get there is often uncrowded. In a good south swell (usually during winter time) can get size and become a tricky wave, since the drop is steepy fast and powerfull. But when the conditions are on the waves here are predictable and a behind the barrel take off is a must.
There´re some awesome lefts, but the rights here are what makes this spot so special.
Additional Info:
Ilhabela is located next to São Sebastião town. You got to take a ferry boat to reach the island and then hire a boat to get there. You can get there by trekking but it´s a hell of a walk.
