Far beyond the beaches, Bombinhas is undergoing important transformations — both on the map and in the local way of life. Preserved islands, new access routes and advances in infrastructure are redesigning the municipality with direct effects on tourism, urbanism and real estate investment. In this article, you discover how the islands near the coast, the new road access and some barely visible decisions are redesigning the city – on the map, in the routine and in the way it is lived.
Arvoredo Island: Environmental protection and controlled tourism
Located 11 km from the coast, Ilha do Arvoredo is part of a federal biological reserve and has restricted access.
- Helps consolidate Bombinhas as a reference in sustainable tourism
- Allowed for recreational diving only with authorized operators
- Preserves rare and sensitive marine ecosystems
- Nautical and scientific research reference point in the region.
Macuco Island: Unspoiled nature and cultural origin
Between Bombinhas and Porto Belo, Macuco Island offers a quiet and preserved alternative, ideal for those looking for contact with nature in its purest state, away from the intense movement of urbanized beaches.
- Calm waters and unspoiled views
- Visited by those seeking silence and landscape
- There was born the sound that inspired the name of the municipality: “bombos” of the waves on the rocks
These advances are not only logistical: They already cause visible changes in the city’s routine, as shown in the examples below.
How the new access is transforming the dynamics of Bombinhas
Getting to the destination has never been simpler. The new route through Morro da Antena shortens the route, relieves traffic at the main entrance and connects directly to BR-101 via Porto Belo, facilitating travel to regions such as Mariscal, Zimbros and Canto Grande.
For those who visit, it is more practical. For the tourism and commercial sector, new possibilities. And for the municipality, an urban transformation that changes the way the territory circulates, invests and is organized. We live in a time when speed has become a priority. And even rest destinations follow this logic. The new road better distributes the flow of visitors, previously concentrated in the center, and improves integration between neighborhoods.
Facilitated access boosts areas with a tourist vocation and stimulates the emergence of new centers of commerce, leisure and housing. This broadens investment opportunities and contributes to the balance between urban growth and local experience.
This change brings positive effects that are already beginning to be felt in practice:
- Decentralization of the tourist flow, relieving traffic in the Center and on Avenida Leopoldo Zarling
- Increased real estate appreciation in regions that previously had more limited access
- Stimulating the opening of new businesses and services in areas that are now more connected
- Urban expansion with greater planning potential and qualified infrastructure
- Improved urban mobility for residents, investors and visitors

Islands as allies in urban planning
The islands in the region are much more than tourist attractions. Assistance:
- Delimiting fishing zones and protected areas
- Guide nautical traffic and scientific research
- Serve as the basis for the master plan and land use
The presence of the islands directly influences public and private decisions about the territory.
Monitoring: What protects Bombinhas every day
Areas such as Arvoredo and the coast are monitored by:
- Drones and satellite imagery
- Land use maps
- Joint inspections with agencies such as ICMBio
This control ensures environmental protection and legal certainty for those who want to invest responsibly.
The ecological role of the smaller islands off the coast
Each island in the region contributes in a unique way to the environmental balance of the coast. Arvoredo is home to birds, corals and marine species. Other islets act as natural barriers against erosion, influence marine currents and stabilize the strip of sand on adjacent beaches.
These micro-territories help preserve the coast even during periods of greater tourist movement. Maintaining these protected areas means preserving the environmental functionality of the peninsula — something that directly impacts the quality of life, tourism, and sustainable real estate appreciation.
In fact, the debate about our role in the face of these transformations is increasingly visible in spaces such as the exhibition “We Are the Climate We Protect”, at the Museum of Tomorrow, which deals with collective responsibility for the planet in times of urban advancement and climate change.
Conclusion
Growth with planning
The new access, the enhancement of strategic areas and environmental monitoring show that Bombinhas is modernizing without giving up organization. The city advances with a focus on mobility, investment and preservation.
