Marina dos Anjos Hostel

Arraial do Cabo


One block back from Praia dos Anjos, this hostel is a wonderful base from which to explore the area. The helpful staff rent bicycles, canoes, snorkels, surfboards and diving equipment, and help coordinate dives and boat tours. The central courtyard, with hammocks and pillows for lounging, is the venue for spontaneous evening barbecues and jam sessions.
