formerly called praia da tapera,
praia da bandeira
is one of the cleanest beaches in the region, many of which have
lost popularity due to the pollution in the guananbara bay.
however, water treatment and cleanup
operations are currently underway and, while the results may
take a while to come into effect, progress is being made every
day.
visitors should not be put off by reports of
polluted waters -
ilha do governador is beautiful with beaches for all types of sun
worshippers, from quiet secluded spots to busier sandy stretches
with many kiosks and restaurants.
