Leao beach
Among vacationers, it is better known as the “Lion's Beach”, since a huge rock, like a lion, appears out of the water near the coast, and the local rocks have cracks, from which its “growl” is often heard. Located in the southern part of the island of Fernando di Noronha, it has great opportunities for snorkeling and exploring coral reefs.

Beach description
besides, the beach is famous for its inhabitants, because many species of birds nest here, mating and resting by dolphins occur. Leao is also considered home to many turtles who choose this area for laying eggs. That is why the entrance can sometimes be limited to the beach during the whole season or several hours. Not only sea residents tourists come to Leao in crowds: the panorama here is no worse than the most scenic beaches in the world.
White sand, clear flowing water at high tide, the sunken fort and its remains - all these sights deserve the closest attention of vacationers. You can reach the place by bus or taxi, but you need to walk a little from the public transport stop. There are no standard amenities on the beach, the infrastructure is not developed here, which in turn allows the resort to maintain its charm, beauty, and uniqueness.
