Fernando de Noronha
in
"Fernando de
Noronha, 220 miles off the northeast coast of Brazil, remains one of the
country’s best-kept secrets, despite its cavalcade of superlatives: Unesco
World Natural Heritage site, sea turtle and spinner dolphin sanctuary, Brazil’s
best surfing and diving, and world-class beaches that are shockingly empty.
Perhaps that’s because of the long list of rules? No beach construction, no
condos or large hotels (only inns called pousadas), no sunscreen in certain
tidal pools, no swimming with dolphins, no fishing in depths of less than 164
feet, no free lunch (daily environmental tax: about $25!).
Whatever the reason,
the “Island of ‘No’ ” — as locals joke — is paradise found."
