Camarão, Ilhabela: what the neighborhood is like, what to weigh, the market

What makes it special

Two municipal schools are on Estrada do Camarão: the E.M. Altamira de Castro Vieira Colucci, full-day, years 1 to 5, at number 436, and the E.M. Paulo Renato Costa Souza, years 1 to 9, at number 455 (Prefeitura de Ilhabela).
Since May 2026, a minibus line has linked the ferry with Perequê through Zabumba, Camarão up to the Coroa, and Água Branca, every day, with three departures in each direction. The city says residents had been asking for it for a long time (Prefeitura de Ilhabela).
The small football pitch on Estrada do Camarão is where the neighbourhood gets together: residents run the Arraiá do Camarão there, a parish-fair style festival with traditional food and music, set for 14 and 15 November in 2026 (Prefeitura de Ilhabela), and the city's Circuito Cultural brought free concerts to the Campinho do Camarão in September 2025 (Prefeitura de Ilhabela).

In 2023, the city was building retaining walls and drainage and rebuilding footbridges in the neighbourhood to repair areas damaged by the heavy February rains (Prefeitura de Ilhabela). Have a professional assess the lot and its drainage.
Part of the neighbourhood is a land-regularisation area, the Estrada do Camarão núcleo (Prefeitura de Ilhabela). Check the property's registry record before closing.
The boundary with Zabumba runs along the road itself: in the property-tax map, the stretch up to number 512 is Zabumba and the rest is Camarão (Law 1,112/2015), yet the city's school list puts numbers 436 and 455 in Camarão (Prefeitura de Ilhabela). Check which neighbourhood appears on the property-tax bill and in the registry record.

Arvita’s reading, based on the facts above.

Families with primary or lower-secondary school children: two municipal schools on the road itself.
People who enjoy neighbourhood life, with a festival run by residents and events on the local pitch.
People who need a bus to the ferry or to Perequê and will take time to check the lot and the paperwork.

Camarão is in the Centre and Vila part of the island.
