Cataguases Island Angra dos Reis

In this article we will tell you all about Cataguases Island in the Angra archipelago.

Cataguases Island is undoubtedly the most paradisiacal of the Angra dos Reis archipelago. With a truly Caribbean look, the island, among the rest of the region, is the closest to Angra, that is, the continent. It is very close to the city, but seems to be isolated. It can only be accessed by private or rented boat.

The waters are clean, clear and mixed in color, blue and green. Cataguases has a sand that is gradually entering the sea. Which is a special aspect since it gives the impression that you can walk far along the water. It is like an integrated pool by the sea. Do you want something more Caribbean than that? :]

It is a perfect place to take children, since the island is small, the sea is calm and shallow. It is a place without risk of losing the child or worrying about waves or currents. No headache It is ideal for those who want to dive, see fish and maybe turtles. There are several beautiful corals out there. What only improves things.

Couples love to take photos in the waters of Cataguases Island. It is the perfect setting for that special photo that will be marked in your memory and that of your partner. Including underwater photos, since the water is transparent.

The sand there is white, very fine and smooth. Walking through the sands of Cataguases is an incredible experience. You want to own the small island in a few moments. :]

The star of the island’s vegetation is the pitangueiras, which by the way has a very tasty fruit. There is a gap in the two wooded areas of the island, which makes it extremely easy to go from one place to another in an instant. And the link is for sand, not for stone. It is difficult to describe how perfect this island is. In every sense!

What to do

Sit back and relax, sunbathe and take a dip. If you wish, you can move around the island quickly, but most of it has to be swimming. The views of the bay of Ilha Grande and the Peregrino Island make it even more special.

Snorkeling is perfect there. Either to swim in shallow water or to go to the corals. Imagine, there you have a good chance, even if you are not a good diver, to see turtles and multi-colored fish walking along the coral.

When to go

The ideal is always to escape the turmoil. If you can go during the week, outside vacations and school vacations, you will always find the cleanest and most vacant paradise. Sometimes you will find the place full of gulets, speedboats and many tourists.

We recommend the Super Ilha boat tour, which will take you there at the best time. In addition to introducing you to other beaches and islands of the archipelago and Ilha Grande. More information here.

To make the trip to Cataguases, it is better to stay in the city of Angra dos Reis, or leave Rio on a round trip. Super Island takes you from the capital to Angra by van and back the same day. All with the greatest comfort and accompanied by an experienced guide.
