Lopes Mendes, Ilha Grande, Rio de Janeiro
Around 150 kilometers west of the city of Rio de Janeiro is Ilha Grande, a former prison colony island where cars are prohibited to this day. As a result, the spectacular beaches around the island are reached by hiking through the jungle or taking a boat. Lopes Mendes is a great spot and isolated to boot.

Forno Beach, Sao Paolo
Surfers flock to the former slave trading town of Buzios to catch the waves at the numerous beaches. Forno has been kept isolated from the crowds due to its distance from town and the unmarked trail that leads to it. Rock formations make for great snorkeling.

Campeche, Florianopolis
A guide to beaches in Brazil would seem empty without a mention of the city of Florianopolis, which has 42 different stretches of sand to choose from. Campeche stands out from the crowd for its surfing and kitesurfing.

Ipanema, Rio de Janeiro
