The sea at the beach is shaken with big waves and the current is also
strong, being one of the most popular surf points in Brazil, serving as a point
for some tournaments. The sand is yellowish and soft with 5 kilometers in
length. The neighborhood beside the beach attracts many tourists for its
variety of restaurants and shops, but specially young people, because of its
night clubs. There are also programmed walks in the Atlantic Forest.
The beach was discovered in 1974 by surfers
who started to explore the beaches north beyond Guarujá
