Acerca de Ilha do Frade
Ilha do Frade es un arrecife de aguas claras de Noronha frente a la Playa de Atalaia, donde son comunes los cardúmenes de peces, rayas, tortugas, langostas y morenas. Es fácil llegar, pero se siente más concurrido y más abierto que una cala resguardada, así que los días más tranquilos son los mejores.
