Tassimirim: calm near the village

What to expect

Usually calm water, coconut palms and, at low tide, natural pools smaller than Moreré’s. A good call if you’re travelling with kids, haven’t booked a boat yet or want snorkel without spending the whole day.

From Velha Boipeba it usually takes 20 to 30 minutes on foot along the shore, past stretches like Outeiro and Pedrinhas (local names help on the way). By quad, the time drops.

Why go

• Natural pools without going all the way to Moreré (when the tide cooperates)
• Less buzz than the island’s postcard stop
• Fits a free late morning or afternoon
• Pairs well with a walk on to Cueira

Tide

Without a favourable low tide, Tassimirim stays pretty — but the pools fade or blur. Check the table. On “wrong” days for Moreré, Tassimirim is often the smart plan B.

Facilities

Simple: palm shade and, sometimes, modest food/drink depending on season. Don’t expect a resort. Expect sand and water.

From Verde e Mar

Start at Boca da Barra and follow the sand. Or ask for guidance/quad on request. When the sun weighs, come back for the pool and hot tub.
