Farol do Ponta das Canas

Farol do Ponta das Canas is a modest lighthouse at Ilhabela’s northern tip, marking the channel between the island and São Sebastião. Visitors come for the coastal scenery: rocky points, clear Atlantic views, and passing boats. It’s a peaceful stop for photos, a short walk, or a pause during a driving tour around the island. There’s no museum or extensive facilities; access can be windy and the sea rough, so it suits those seeking viewpoints rather than beach time. Combine it with nearby beaches and lookouts for a well-rounded visit. Best in clear weather and daylight.
