The islands of Fernando de Noronha are known for some of the best beaches and best diving spots in Brazil - 10 of their beaches made it onto the best in Brazil list, the top three by Sancho Bay, Porcos Bay and Leao Beach and there are coastal side sheltered varieties and ocean side dramatic varieties.
Sea turtles and dolphins enjoy the warm, tropical water which in turn attract divers and snorkelers.
The island group has been owned at various times by the Dutch, English, Spanish, French, Portugese and the French East India Company (and possibly others) but the first permanent settlement wasn’t built until the 1770’s. In 1988 around 70% of the groups area was declared a National Marine Park. Today the main income is from eco tourism and lovers of tropical islands.
