Angra dos ReisThis peninsula and group of 365 islands (one for each day of the
year!) is a holiday playground that boasts 2,000 beautiful beaches
and a natural wonderland of mountains, forests, waterfalls, lakes
and secret coves. Visitors can take trips by schooner, yacht or
motor launch to explore the delights of the area, particularly the
main island, Ilha Grande. Fishing and diving are the favoured
activities for tourists, and on land there are hundreds of walking
trails giving access to some of the less frequented beaches like
Canto, Abraaozinho, Morcego and Grande das Palmas. The beaches of
Aventureiro and Lopes Mendes are also popular with surfers. Website: www.angra-dos-reis.com Transportation: It can be easily reached from Rio by road in just over
