Baba de Boi - Poita 4

At Baba de Boi, the rocky shores covered with algae and corals are home to colorful fish, turtles and invertebrates such as nudibranchs, anemones, crabs, shrimp and sea urchins. In Alcatrazes, reef fish such as garoupas, budiões and schools of enxada tend to circle around divers. At Saco do Funil, the xira (Haemulon aurolineatum) and gobies of the genus Coryphopterus were recorded in 2022.

Military training closed the region to navigation from 1998 to 2008, and access remained restricted until 2016, when the Alcatrazes Refuge was created. In the region, weather and sea conditions for navigation and scuba diving tend to be better from November to May.
