Jabaquara is one of the most beautiful and best-preserved beaches on the Island. The beach is about 500 m long and there is a wide stretch of white sand, divided by two streams, one at each end of the beach. The river that flows into the right end forms a pretty pond of fresh water, separated from the ocean by the stretch of sand and by some huge stones, with the stream meandering past these before flowing into the sea. This is the northernmost point of the Island that can be reached by car.

Jabaquara is a picturesque heavenly place, and there are some caiçaras' (local inhabitants) houses and two bars serving fish, portions of shrimps and beverages to those who come here whether by road or on the schooners that circulate the Island _ which regard a short pause at the beach here as an absolute must.
