Attraction and Infrastructure

As for the main features of the beaches of São Paulo, they are as follows:

  • The state's beaches are mainly wide, moderate length and have a high level of cleanliness. The most common surface is sand of bright color.
  • Usually, entry into the water is gentle, which is very good for kids. There are 184 such beaches.
  • An important clarification, 96 beaches in the state have a long intertidal zone, which means that during low tide hours you may have to travel a considerable distance. This is also something to consider if you don't want to suddenly be in the water at high tide.
  • The average distance from the road to beach in São Paulo is less than 500 meters. 188 beaches are relatively easy to access, 20 beaches are difficult to access, which in most cases means that you have to walk a quite long distance, and 20 beaches are only accessible from the water. The latter include both island beaches and beaches with no land routes due to the natural borders.

The vast majority of São Paulo beaches have the necessary amenities, such as sun loungers, umbrellas, beach cafes, showers and toilets.

I was robbed at gunpoint coming up from the beach back to our car. 4 men robbed us and stole our wallets, phones, wedding rings, and OUR CAR. They left us stranded here. Avoid this beach.

The beach is not easily accessible due to the abundance of rocks and seaweed. However, it is an excellent spot for diving and snorkeling with a mask. A small stream runs alongside the sandy shore. There is a trail that leads from Praia da Ganxuma and Praia da Serraria, although it is not very well marked.

Please note that lifeguards supervise 95 beaches in the state, but you should rely on more than just them, remember the elementary rules, as lifeguards are not on duty around the clock, even on equipped beaches!

Finding hotels in relative proximity to the beaches is usually fine. Many beaches have enough nearby accommodation, which gives good opportunities to choose the right place to stay.

The hottest month of the state is January - air temperature during this time warms up to 27.2°C and water up to 28.5°C. The coldest month is August - air temperature drops to 18.9°C and water to 18.7°C.
