Kite- and Windsurfing

Many of the Brazilian windsurfing champions are based in Ilhabela and also train here. Savvy kitesurfers and windsurfers head to Ponta das Canas, at the island’s northern tip. Side-by-side beaches Praia do Pinto and Armação, both located 12 km (7 miles) north of the ferry dock, also have favorable wind conditions.
