Just off São Sebastião is Ilhabela, the largest maritime island in Brazil with an area of almost 350,000 m2. Ilhabela has become increasingly well-known as a water-sports paradise where water is the magic word. There are 400 waterfalls flowing amongst the huge variety of trees and plants in the Ilhabela State Park and the sea attracts those keen on sailing, surfing, underwater fishing or simply swimming. The island has 150 km of coastline and beaches, some of which are still wild and accessible only by boat.
