More Exploring Of The Coast

We went exploring again yesterday. This time we went up the coast to some villages and beaches between Guaruja and Bertioga. Our first stop was Tijucopava Beach, which is a very nice remote beach. You have to drive up and over a small mountain to get to the beach, and there are some very nice homes on the hillsides overlooking the beach. It was a great drive and it was like driving through the jungle. Our second stop was in Perequê, which is a poor fishing village. After looking at the beach we had a very good seafood lunch.

Brazil Photo

Brazil has a coastline of 4655 miles, so naturally it has many beautiful beaches. The photo below is of a beach in Ubatuba, located in the northern coast of the state of Sao Paulo.

Brazil Has Great Beaches

We live in Sao Paulo and we are only 1 to 1-1/2 hour from the ocean, depending on where you go. When we get the chance we like to go to the beach to relax for the day, especially after a long & busy week. There are many beaches to choose from that are close in Praia Grande, Santos, Guaruja, Bertioga, Riviera,... We especially like Enseada Beach in Guaruja and Riviera Beach. Because it is tropical weather here, you can go to the beach a good part of the year. Most people say that the best beaches in Brazil are in the northeast part of the country, and we hope to travel there sometime in the future. Here are some beach pictures to enjoy.
