Fernando De Noronha, Brazil

This archipelago of 21 tropical islands, 350 kilometers from mainland Brazil, is famed for its

idyllic sandy beaches, marine life and hiking trails. It's now a marine national park and UNESCO World Heritage Site, where hawksbill turtles, dolphins, sharks and endangered species are protected. The island life wasn't always a paradise. Between the late 18th century and 1957 there was a prison on the main island. Fee: A preservation fee is payable (via the Internet or a travel agent) before you arrive on the island. The fee starts from BR36.69 (US$19.6) for a one-day visit. Varig and Trip Airlines fly daily from Natal and Recife. www.fernando-de-noronha.org or www.noronha.pe.gov.br The remote headland in Brittany really does feel like the end of the world (its name is derived from the Latin finis terrae). In front lies the Atlantic Ocean, while along the coast natural rocky harbors and inlets create a rugged landscape. Tourists flock to Pointe du Raz, which points like a craggy finger at a lighthouse in often choppy waters, but on sunny days the abers are peaceful and protected from the elements. Accessible from Brest, Brittany. www.finisteretourisme.com (French)
