Itacuruca - General Info
Description:
This holiday location is a relatively short 50 miles by road from Rio de Janeiro, but rather longer by sea as it is tucked away behind a long sandbar and very much off the beaten track.
When entering the Bahia de Sepetiba via the buoyed channel east of Ilha Grande, it is approx 18nm to Itacuruca.
Position:
22°55.99′ S, 43°54.64′ W (entrance)

This place is not recommended as a port of entry since all the necessary authorities are in Angra dos Reis or Rio de Janeiro. Only the Marinha do Brasil have a base there and they are happy if you register with them, which is free of charge.
In terms of crime and piracy the area is very safe. We stayed there for a couple of years and did not experience any criminal act, neither was such a thing reported from other sailors.
