The Lagoinha Ruins, or ruins of the Lagoinha mill, are a monument in southern Ubatuba, listed by the state in the 1980s for their archaeological interest and run by the city's arts and culture foundation. They are the remains of a mill that belonged to the Bom Retiro farm, probably from the first half of the 19th century. The building was raised in stone and lime, and researchers date it to 1828, the work of the French engineer João Agostinho Stevenné, at a time when Ubatuba prospered from the trade of its port, which shipped much of the Paraíba Valley's produce and was the end of the mule-train route from São Luiz do Paraitinga. The area around the ruins has waterfalls popular with locals and visitors, among them a Véu de Noiva fall with a rappelling setup. It makes a stop on the road south of town; take care walking among the old walls.
