Praia do Toque-Toque Pequeno, on the north coast of São Paulo, is the ideal setting for relaxing by the sea. Located 3 hours from the capital of São Paulo, the beach combines crystal-clear sea, a quiet stretch of sand and nature, making it one of São Sebastião’s most precious destinations.
In addition to its paradisiacal setting, Toque-Toque Pequeno is in a residential area and maintains a peaceful atmosphere, unlike other famous beaches in the municipality. For this reason, it attracts many visitors who prefer a more sustainable and less “crowded” destination on the coast of São Paulo.
An ecological paradise just a few hours from São Paulo!
Despite its name, the beach is not that small. Its stretch of sand is 1 kilometer long, from where you can see Toque-Toque Island, which became famous for looking like a turtle coming out of the sea. But the highlight of the beach is its crystal clear waters – the perfect invitation for a relaxing dip.
The lack of large kiosks adds to the paradisiacal feeling, as if you were discovering a secret corner of the coast. Such serenity means that Toque-Toque Pequeno is much less crowded than other beaches in São Sebastião, making it easier for bathers to relax.
While the strip of sand stands out for its tranquillity, the sea demands attention as it is a tumbling beach which requires extra caution for children and the elderly. Even so, the combination of unspoiled scenery, transparent sea and respect for nature make Toque-Toque Pequeno a destination not to be missed on your wish list.
Toque-Toque Pequeno Beach was featured in the New York Times
Toque-Toque Pequeno is not all about calm. After all, the beach also offers great conditions for nature sports such as kayaking and stand up paddle boarding. In addition, you can take advantage of your trip to discover the trails and waterfalls in the area.
This caiçara paradise gained international prominence in 2006, when the New York Times mentioned Toque Toque Pequeno in an article about the São Paulo coast. On that occasion, journalist Seth Krugel mentioned that the “idyllic beach” is hidden in the hills next to neighboring Toque-Toque Grande, and is an alternative for tourists who prefer a quiet walk by the sea.
