About Ponta de Tubarão
Ponta de Tubarão is a shore-access reef at the foot of the mountains, with an open-water swim between three reefs and a route that stays easy to read once you reach the outer line. Coral formations, gorges, and small caves break up the reef, while nurse sharks are the headline encounter and can appear shallow during the right season. Plan it for steady buoyancy, a conservative return, and enough room to move through the outer water.
