What to do at Pitangueiras Beach in Guarujá?
Among the beaches in Guarujá, Pitangueiras is the ideal option for those who don’t want to compromise on infrastructure. After all, its central location guarantees easy access to hotels, shopping centers, bars and restaurants – balancing the relaxation of the coast with the practicality of the big city.
You can take advantage of the promenade to go for morning walks or runs enjoying the view and the sea breeze. If you’re more of an adventurer, however, we recommend exploring the ocean by surfing or stand up paddle boarding.
It’s also worth visiting the Tony Villela Pier, located between Pitangueiras and Astúrias beaches. In addition to the famous “Eu Amo Guarujá” graffiti, the deck offers a privileged view of the waterfront and is especially charming at dusk.
