Ilha Grande or Lopez Mendez and the Candy Man
... all around the island, the island itself consisting of hills that are covered with rainforrest. So in order to get to most of the beaches you have either walk (or sometimes hike, mostly around 2 hours) or take a boat (which are crazily expensive and slow).
