What makes it special
- Praia do Veloso has about 200 metres of sand, calm water, a big mango tree at the left end, beach stalls, a freshwater shower and a playground.
- Divers visit the wreck of the Aymoré, a ship that sank in 1920 and lies between 4 and 18 metres deep (Turismo Ilhabela).
- The Veloso waterfall trail starts at the end of Rua José Pereira Carolo: 2 to 3 km, moderate, with a guide required and a limit of 110 people a day. Fundação Florestal says it is the highest fall on the side of the island facing the mainland.
- The Vila - Veloso bus line became permanent in 2020 and links the ferry and the Vila to Praia do Veloso with no change of bus (Prefeitura de Ilhabela).
- Next-door Curral has beach bars and restaurants (Turismo Ilhabela) and the Escola de Vela do Sul da Ilha sailing school (Prefeitura de Ilhabela).
What to weigh
- In the February 2023 storm, part of Avenida José Pacheco do Nascimento gave way by Praia do Veloso and traffic ran stop-and-go from 19 February to 2 March (Prefeitura de Ilhabela). Right after the storm, Sabesp had no date for restoring water from Ilhote to Veloso (Prefeitura de Ilhabela).
- Residents of Rua Eunice Borges do Rego lived with flooding for years until drainage work in 2017 (Prefeitura de Ilhabela). Check how water drains on the street of any property.
- Praia do Curral, about 300 metres away, is the liveliest beach in the south: in high season there is music on the sand all day, banana boats and jet skis (Turismo Ilhabela).
- In 2017, the city ordered the demolition of four flats in a Veloso condominium that were built on the rocky shore against the land-use law (Prefeitura de Ilhabela). Check that a property's plans are approved.
