Morro De Sao Paulo

Morro is a small beach town on a large island, only accessible by boat. It has a one road town which connects the port with the beach, and 4 beaches in a row, creatively named first, second, third and forth beach. The town is filled with restaurants, bars and souvenir shops. The first beach is quite small, the second (where we stayed) is the main hang-out beach with fruit and snack stalls, many restaurants and bars, and more Israelis’ per square metre than Tel-Aviv. The third beach was rarely sittable, as the tide swallowed it up most of the day, and the forth beach stretched the longest and was the most unspoilt, but the water was about 35 degrees and hardly a respite from the heat.

Everyone on Morro has a Brazilian flag sarong. We bought one to be like them

2nd beach shenanigans

More shenanigans ...

Moon rise over first beach



And so, this was our greatest problem each day, which beach to sit at? (tough life)

So much choices!!
Our posada was cute and served a nice breakfast each day. At night, we ate in restaurants, had balcony drinks and bar drinks, tried the local speciality called “Moqueca”, hung out with people who crossed our path, and walked around the town and beaches. It was relaxing to say the least. 

Chileans on the self timer!


Moqueca with camarones - served with rice, beans and something else that we are not sure about yet
