The Experience

“You know it’s going to be a good day when you’re already laughing before the boat even leaves the dock — our guide, Rafael, kept teasing me about my sunscreen skills (or lack of). The water around Botinas Islands was so clear I could see tiny silver fish darting under the surface before we even jumped in. I didn’t expect to feel that weird mix of excitement and calm, just floating there with a snorkel and those ‘spaghetti’ noodles they hand out. The salty air, a bit sticky on my skin, made me realize how far from city noise we really were.

We stopped at Praia do Dentista next — locals call it Jurubaíba, but apparently everyone just says ‘Dentista’ now. There’s something about that beach: the sand is almost white, and the sea is so calm you can hear people laughing from other boats. Rafael pointed out where some famous dentist used to live (I guess that’s why the name stuck). I tried saying ‘Juruba’ like he did, but he just shook his head and grinned. Lunch was at Praia do Vitorino — grilled fish straight from Ilha Grande’s bay, with rice and beans that tasted way better than they looked. I still remember how the breeze smelled like lime and charcoal smoke.

After eating way too much (seriously), we wandered down Flecha Beach for a bit. The Atlantic Forest here makes everything look greener somehow — even the water gets this emerald tint. Last stop was Praia da Piedade, where there’s an old church right by the sand. Some folks got really into taking selfies; I just sat for a minute listening to the quiet waves and thinking about how easy it is to lose track of time out here. It’s not fancy or anything, but something about Angra dos Reis makes you want to slow down.
