Baía dos Porcos is a tiny cove on Fernando de Noronha, inside the Marine National Park between Cacimba do Padre and Sancho beaches, and one of the most photographed spots on the island thanks to its view of the twin Morro Dois Irmãos rocks rising from the sea. You reach it on foot by a short path over the rocks from the end of Cacimba do Padre beach, 5 to 15 minutes; Cacimba do Padre itself is 4 km from Vila dos Remédios by car, buggy or taxi. Access is only allowed at low tide, which is also when natural pools form among the rocks, ideal for snorkelling in calm water. Check the tide table before you go and watch your footing on the wet rocks.
