Saco do Cardeiro

Also known as: Cardeiro

Saco do Cardeiro belongs to the busiest sector of Arraial do Cabo, together with Saco do Cherne and Ilha dos Porcos. Its main attraction for photographers is a soft coral that does not originally occur in Brazil and has settled in the cove. Seahorses are a regular find, and turtles and colourful reef fish are common. Dive centres also use the sector for naturalist courses.
