Ponta das Companhas has a history dating back to the colonial period, specifically the mid-18th century, when whaling began, an activity that persisted until 1950. In Brazil, whaling was only banned in 1985. The name "Ponta das Companhas" derives from "companhas dos baleeiros," a term used to designate the residences of individuals who dedicated themselves to this practice.

Today, the site is a place of contemplation for locals and tourists alike, as well as serving as a starting point for tours to Campeche Island.
