Dois Rios Beach, Ilha Grande

This place rocks, and even more so because the only way is by boat or a long hike! Several hours of walking up and over the hills of Ilha Grande you arrive in two Rivers! A prison where the CV Red Command was created (one of Brazil's most violent gangs second to PCC) You can even visit, take a look inside! There are a few restaurants but watch out because it may take a really long time to get your food, you may end up walking home in the dark (not recommended) head back with at least two hours of sun light! There are multiple abandoned houses and mansions but if you explore you need to be very respectful and careful as the houses are very dilapidated. The beach is a long beautiful and very clean Beach. Since it's on the Oceanside there is less trash and the beach receives less visitors! Go for a swim in the ocean and then take a dip the river, it's so refreshing. It kind of reminds me of jumping in the pool after being in the ocean. TIP/HINT - there are multiple little trails and entrances along the road to Two Rivers. Many of them if you walk for five minutes you'll come across multiple waterfalls, springs and pools. Follow my Instagram, I give tips and travel info! @Experience.Rio

I can't get enough of this place. It is a heaven where some people lived their hell, but today's day its a full of history, stories, nature and local culture. It takes a short 6-7k hike to get here from Vila do Abraão and around 2 hours. It worth all efforts.

Excelent Place. Blue water. Good waves. The best thing is to take a bath into the river to remove the salty water.

I much preferred Dois Rios than Lopes Mendes beach 🏖! It's not full of tourist and you can even bike 🚲 there! It takes about 45 min to go by bike but beware, do not consider renting a bike (R$40/day) to go there if 1) you're not athletic / in shape. 2) you don't like climbing up hill (it's pretty much 35min up hill and 10min down hill). 3) you don't know how to ride a MTB on a rocky, steepy and slippery path. Nonetheless, if you take a bike 🚲, not only you'll have fun going down but you will also save 2hrs and you will enjoy the beauty of Dois Rios alone in the afternoon when hikers leave the beach to go back to Abraão. Do not miss this beach!

What a flabbergasting beach... do the 8 km hike from the main city and let yourself be rewarded at this amazing place. Don't expect commercial crap, it will be you and nature..
