ilha alfavaca is between meio and pontuda, and though it is slightly closer to the shore than the others, it is ringed with cliffs and thus somewhat less visited.

for this reason more marine life can be seen in the surrounding waters, and depths range from 6 to 18 meters.

ilha pontuda, the longest island, also has many cliffs, making it popular among climbers, in addition to a navigational beacon at its highest point and a large bird population.

though somewhat less visited due to the rocky shoreline, care should be taken as small boats full of sunbathers tend to stop there - surrounding depths are from 6 to 18 meters.
