Baía do Sancho
27-04-2025
Sancho Bay is located in the Fernando de Noronha archipelago, off the coast of Pernambuco, Brazil. Renowned for its emerald waters, white sand, and surrounding cliffs, it hosts rich marine life on rocky seabeds. The beach is only accessible by descending a steep staircase carved into the cliff. Between February and June, rainfall creates two temporary waterfalls flowing from the top of the cliffs.
During sea turtle nesting season (January to June), access is restricted from 6 PM to 6 AM to protect the wildlife. Since the area came under EcoNoronha’s management, visitor hours have been regulated to preserve the ecosystem.
