Itinerary description
Hiking - Long hike to Dois Rios beach and back from Abraao. The hike unfolds on a rough road, probably the only one on the island, all the way to the military installation of Dois Rios. Visitors are registered by a friendly guard at the end of a palmtree-lined avenue upon arrival and ticked off when leaving. The remnants of a former hospital and prison host a free-admission small museum worth a visit to learn some history before heading to the beach.
Near Dois Rios, the road passes by the Piscina dos Soldados (Soldiers' Pool), a natural river pool where soldiers used to take a refreshing bath. There is no boat service to this location and this equates to a pretty empty, large beach.
Tips:
Bring along water and food from Abraao as I have seen nothing for sale on site and along the way (August 2010)
