ABOUT
The Praia do Miguel Trail leads to the most preserved and beautiful beach on Ilha do Mel. Leaving Encantadas, the trail passes by Praia da Boia, climbs Morro do Sabão (25 min) and descends to Praia do Miguel. At low tide, it's possible to skirt the rocks by the seaside without climbing the hill. The beach at the end is completely untouched — no infrastructure, no kiosk, nothing but nature.
✨ HIGHLIGHTS
- •Leads to Praia do Miguel — the most beautiful on the island
- •Passes through Morro do Sabão (panoramic view)
