If you’re thinking of taking a trip to the coast, why not visit the beaches of Bertioga? This seaside town is located in the Baixada Santista, just 120 kilometers from São Paulo, and is an option for those who want to relax without being too far from the capital.
With crystal-clear waters and plenty of nature, Bertioga offers options for all types of swimmers. It doesn’t matter whether you’re traveling with family or friends, whether you prefer a busy stretch of sand or one that’s almost deserted. We guarantee that the Bertioguense coastline will have a special corner for you!
But to make your trip easier, here are some of the best beaches in Bertioga. Including one that has become known as the haunt of Brazilian celebrities!
Bertioga beaches: the best options for your trip
Guaratuba Beach
The first tip is for those who want to relax. Guaratuba Beach has 8 kilometers of quiet sand, bordered by the mouths of the Guaratuba and Itaguaré rivers. With few visitors, it has a very safe and family-friendly environment, where you can walk along the sand or contemplate nature.
There are no kiosks or major infrastructure, so it’s worth bringing drinks and snacks to spend the day. It’s also important to note that Guaratuba Beach is surrounded by residential condominiums, but access is open to everyone. All you have to do is identify yourself as a visitor at the gate.
Itaguaré Beach
This beach is on the other side of the Itaguaré River and is another quiet, unspoiled stretch of coastline. With no kiosks or infrastructure, Praia de Itaguaré looks like a natural refuge and is an option for those who want to enjoy nature at its roots. It also has perfect waves for surfers.
Enseada Beach
Next up is Bertioga’s largest beach, approximately 12 kilometers long. Praia da Enseada is close to the city center and offers a good number of restaurants, kiosks, bars and a promenade, pleasing those who want to relax without sacrificing infrastructure. But be aware that the strip of sand can get crowded at weekends, especially in high season.
Riviera de São Lourenço
This is one of the most refined beaches in Bertioga, and perhaps in the state of São Paulo. Riviera de São Lourenço stands out for being in one of the neighborhoods with the most expensive square meters in Brazil, where celebrities like Luciano Camargo and MC Gui live. As a result, it has become known to many as the “celebrity beach”.
But, like all beaches on the Brazilian coast, it is open to everyone. With clean waters and a safe stretch of sand, the Riviera guarantees a swim surrounded by nature, good waves for surfing and the rental of speedboats or jet skis.
Montão de Trigo Island
Finally, this curiously named island belongs to the São Sebastião coastline, but is right on the border with the Bertioguense coast. We therefore consider it an unmissable stop for anyone visiting Bertioga’s beaches too.
Also called the “Brazilian Seychelles”, the island has crystal-clear turquoise waters, trails through the Atlantic Forest and plenty of diving activities. The local fauna is also very rich, with dolphins and turtles to spot.
Montão de Trigo is a unique destination, and by law only caiçaras who were born there live there. In other words, if you were born on the mainland, you could only live there if you married a native. But you can visit it and enjoy its beauty whenever you want, just book a tour with the accredited agencies in Bertioga.
