I write again before sunrise, not sure If I will be able to upload the text – internet on Noronha is miserable…
Nobody will tell you that but at the low tide it is possible to hike along the beautiful beaches on the northern coast of Fernando de Noronha.
Check the tide schedule first! Yesterday we were lucky to start one hour before the lowest tide. First beach was a Praia Boldro with a great viewpoint on the cliff. Maps provided by the Nat Park are poor, so let you know that tiny path goes down from Mirante (viewpoint) Boldro down to the beach. Then hiking through the coastal rocks you can get to the Americano beach and onwad to Praia Bode. All were beautliful and completly empty… Then Cacimba do Padre with two high coastal islands -Two Brothers – for me maybe the nicest of them.
A short path goes from Padre to Baia dos Porcos – Pig’s Bay. This one dissappointed me. Then – no way – yuo must get back to Padre an go inland by gravel road more then 1km to Sancho Bay. Praia Sancho in no.1 on the list of Brazilian beachest. Seen from the 100-meter cliff it is really impressive -wide an with beautiful colors of the water, sand, black roocks, pink cliff. I was swiming there – like in the paradise…
We continued walk on the cliff to Dolphins Bay. To late to see many dolphins – morning is recommended.
Very tiring day in the tropical heat and sun, but what a views!
