🌊 Our focus: cleaning and preservation of the beaches
Currently, our main focus is carrying out community beach cleanups on Ilha Grande's beaches. We believe that a clean environment is essential for the health of ecosystems, the preservation of biodiversity, and the well-being of the community.
Our activities involve collecting waste on the beaches, gathering volunteers in collective actions to remove trash and contribute to the conservation of the island's natural beauty.
We also encourage proper separation of collected materials, facilitating recycling and contributing to the reduction of pollution.
Through these initiatives, we seek to build a cleaner, more conscious, and sustainable Ilha Grande, where residents and visitors can enjoy nature responsibly.
🛶 Location, access and activities
We are located in a region surrounded by nature, with access to trails that lead to different points on the island.
We have kayaks available at the inn which, when not used by guests, can be made available to volunteers. Right in front of the inn is the famous Lagoa Azul, with its crystal-clear waters.
In addition to beach cleaning actions, we also develop environmental education activities with the caiçara community, especially in local schools. We promote moments of knowledge exchange and encourage sustainable practices, such as composting, growing of gardens and use of organic waste.
