This is the most frequented beach on Mosqueiro Island.  Chapéu Virado Beach is a very charming beach, with white sands, good waves, and very flat.  The long strip of sand is great for throwing down a towel and soaking up the sun, while the waves are ideal for sailing.  

The name Chapéu Virado Beach comes from the fact that the Portuguese colonists manufactured hats with flaps here.  Today the term means a hat that is turned, like a baseball cap turned on it's side.
