In the Road to Ribeira d´Ilhas, turn left exactly after the restaurant César, pretty bad trail, first you will see Pedra Branca continue more 50 - 70 mt and you arrive at reef.
If you're at Ribeira d'ilhas look at the far point to your left, ask for directions. Jeep or banged up car recomended (pretty lousy trail)
