History Of the Sepetiba bay and Jaguanum Island

The bay of Sepetiba forms part of the larger bay of Ilha Grande and the 365 islands of the region. The point of Marambaia and Ilha Grande form the entrance to Sepetiba Bay where the big cargo vessels have access to the Port of Sepetiba. Between the 17th and 19th century many nations visited this area, from France, Holland, Spain, and England, amongst them whaling boats from Portugal.

Some of the families living on Jaguanum today can trace their ancestors back to these early Portuguese adventurers who settled here and started planting cassava (mandioca) in the hills behind the beaches. The cassava was ground and toasted in large ovens before being rowed to the mainland in huge dugout canoes that were made on Ilha Grande. These canoes were made out of a single trunk and could measure up to 12 metres long and took six strong men to row them. One of these fine canoes lies on the beach at Calhaus. The traces of the original house and oven are still there on top of the hill.

Whales have been seen now and then in the Bay of Sepetiba; a whale was beached in a corner of the island near Araxa and is now named ??aco de Baleia??in honour of the marine visitor. Dolphins are resident in the bay and local folklore says that dolphins chase away sharks. Fishing is good with many varieties, such as kingfish, mackerel, tuna rock cod, sole,wahoo, moonfish and dourado to mention a few
