First day

Initially, we will highlight that we separate the first and last day, so that you can best adapt it to your plans. Assuming you arrive between 11am and 1pm (click and check our prices and times), check in at your hotel/inn and have something to eat, the best option is to enjoy the beach. We recommend that you have lunch at a seaside restaurant on the first beach and enjoy the afternoon there.

Around sunset there are 2 options. Go to Fortaleza to secure your privileged spot for the best photos or to Toca do Morcego, a restaurant/bar (paid) that also has an excellent view. The dining options are vast, from pizza to Mexican food. Discover local businesses at night. We recommend the artisanal products (usually in the stalls along the street), the countless ice cream shops and bikini shops with the latest trends. Also, visit the Nossa Senhora da Luz Church, right at the entrance to the village, which is illuminated at night.

2nd day

On the second day, make the most of the beach. 1st, 2nd, 3rd or 4th, depending on your preference (the second is the fullest and the fourth is the emptiest, but both are equally beautiful). Therefore, also eat at one of the seaside restaurants. As for the sunset, this time choose the option that was not included the day before.

3rd day

Day to get to know the surroundings (click here and find out more). Plan a trip around the island with a travel agency, or, if you prefer, go to Gamboa do Morro. You won't regret it. If you choose the second option, you can go on foot (at low tide) or by boat (according to the times posted on the pier). Don't worry: there you can also find seaside restaurants and bars. The clay beach and the transparent sea are fascinating.

Return day

Unfortunately, every trip has a return day. But don't worry, with this itinerary you can adapt and make the last day worthwhile (whether it's your 2nd, 3rd, or 4th day in Morro). Knowing that you must return between 1 pm and 2 pm (so you must be ready a little earlier), on the last day take advantage of the available trails. However, you will only be able to do this if you wake up early. The trails that lead to the Morro de São Paulo Lighthouse and the zip line, which leaves from the top reaching the waters of the first beach, are fantastic. If you choose the second option, you can still guarantee a swim in the sea. Choose one of these adventures!
