Brazil
Saco do Céu, on Ilha Grande, is a cove with a narrow mouth. The sea is as calm as a lake and, on starry nights, the stars are reflected on the water, hence the name. Pirates used to hide there to ambush the Portuguese ships leaving the bay of Ilha Grande loaded with gold. More than half of the shoreline is mangrove, with plenty of crustaceans, shells and oysters.
