Beautiful island
One of the most rugged landscapes in the Brazilian coastal region, with all the characteristics of young terrain.
Ilhabela is one of the municipalities in São Paulo considered seaside resorts for fulfilling certain prerequisites defined by State Law.
This status guarantees the fifteen municipalities a greater budget from the State for the promotion of regional tourism.
The municipality acquires the right to add the title of Estância Balneária to its name, a term by which it is designated both by the official municipal record and by state references.
Ilhabela Beaches
The first inhabitants of the archipelago were fishermen and gatherers who lived in open-air camps near beaches and bays.
The researchers deduce that these inhabitants rarely explored the forests, probably only picking fruits and ingredients for medicines.
This was possible thanks to the discovery of pre-colonial archaeological sites on the islands of Vitória, Búzios and dos Pescadores.
The collections of shells, seafood and ceramics left by them are the only remains that archaeologists have to study them.
