Wind Brasil 2009 has grown and now includes two formula windsurfing grand prix events. Ilhabela has been added to the world tour and precedes the tour finale in Fortaleza, in Ceara State. Ilhabela, or Beautiful Island, on Ilha de São Sebastião in the state of São Paulo, (see the interactive map from Expedia) certainly lives up to its name. About 85% of the island’s almost 350,000 square miles is within Ilhabela State Park, with further development not allowed. Most of the development is on the west coat facing the mainland, and the islands economy is based on tourism.
