Ilha Grande
Leaving the bustle of Rio in the morning, I found myself on a serene beach sipping a caparinha by the late afternoon after taking a bus and a ferry to Ilha Grande.
The next day I sweated my way up and down the jungle-covered hills for 2 hours to get to Lopes Mendes beach which is 2km of almost deserted white sand and a good swell for bodysurfing in. It is one of the nicer beaches out of several hundred on the island.
On the way we stopped for refreshments at this floating restaurant.
I stayed at a hostel right on the waterfront so whenever you had the urge you could climb out of your hammock and dive into the water from the dock. At night we sat around discussing which beach to go to the next day.

Watch out for those caparinhas! As I remember you can't handle too many! :) But then, who can?
