Tiny Guanxuma beach, with just 100 m of white sand and a nice fisherman's cottage under the trees, has an enormous stone right in the centre of the bay. The abundant vegetation of the Atlantic Forest provides a backdrop to the calm and incredibly transparent waters.

The gigantic stone right in the middle of the bay is the tip of a 6-m deep vertical rock. Minute whitish corals cover the stone underwater, and there are large black sea urchins dotted all over it, creating an interesting contrast. Swimming under the water around this rock is an unforgettable experience. On a sunny day with a calm sea, you have the feeling you're flying around the enormous rock.
