What makes it special
- The city recommends the trail from Praia da Siriúba to Praia do Arrozal, in the north, as an outing for children: both beaches have calm, shallow water (Prefeitura de Ilhabela).
- Residents are organised: AMO, the residents' association of Viana, Siriúba, Arrozal and Sino (Garapocaia), took a seat on the city's environment council in 2023 (Prefeitura de Ilhabela) and had its candidacy for the city planning council approved in 2026 (Prefeitura de Ilhabela).
- A July 2025 decree lists Arrozal, together with Pacuíba and Armação, among the far-north starting points of bus lines, which get 90 minutes instead of 60 to transfer to another line (Diário Oficial de Ilhabela).
- Sanitation works are planned here: in July 2023, the city declared plots in the Jardim Siriúba development, in the place called Siriúba-Arrozal, of public use for the Siriúba I and II water reservoirs (Diário Oficial de Ilhabela), and in August 2026 it did the same for a strip of land for the sewage collection network (Diário Oficial de Ilhabela).
What to weigh
- The sewage network is still being built: the August 2026 decree covers land needed for the collection network in Jardim Siriúba (Diário Oficial de Ilhabela). Ask whether the property is already connected.
- Water supply in the north has failed before: in January 2026, the mayor spoke of seven days in a row without water in the north and took the matter to Arsesp, the state utilities regulator (Prefeitura de Ilhabela). A large water tank is worth having.
