The beach is untamed, with peaceful, clear waters. The sandy area is small, scattered with rocks and a lookout on the left. To reach it, take a fork in the main trail between Praia do Pouso and Lopes Mendes, marked by a sign.

Lopes Mendes beach is the most stunning of all the beaches on Ilhe Grande! Just follow the sign from the main path and take a 15-minute walk down a slightly overgrown path to reach this almost deserted cove with crystal-clear swimming water.
