ABOUT
Praia das Encantadas is the busiest beach on Ilha do Mel. With golden sand, rough seas and consistent waves, it's the spot for surfers and young people. The infrastructure is the second best on the island — there are bars, restaurants and inns along the shore. It's the starting point for the Gruta das Encantadas trail and base for exploring the south of the island. The vibe is relaxed and young, with live music in some bars during high season.
