Ilha das Couves is one of the most sought-after places in Ubatuba, on the northern coast of São Paulo state. The water is clear enough to see the bottom from the boat, which is why almost everyone goes there thinking of snorkeling. The island lies in the north of Ubatuba, near Picinguaba and Praia da Almada, and can only be reached by boat.
