The beach itself is good with small waves and lots of Brazillians sitting under umbrellas however there is a bit of rubbish on the beach. Howwever, a must see is the island near this beach that you walk out to in knee deep water. It is absolutely beautiful. You can look back onto the beaches of Santos with the buildings behind it and climb around the rocks. We even went jumping off the rocks with local Brazillians and everyday walked over to this island to see turtles that swam around the rocks in the same spot everyday. We spent hours just watching the turtles from the rocks and got in and swam with them. We brought goggles to watch them under the water however the water isnt clear enough to see them. the best option is to admire them from the rocks or jump and swim along side them to see them when they come up for a breath. Awesome place!

This beach is a very delightful place to be. The sand is very soft and clean. The water of the ocean is very refreshing and calm. The temperature in Santos is stable and often it`s very hot which is very good to swimming. We went there in the fall, so the place was very empty and the sea was quite cold. It is relatively calm, so take the kids, they will love it. You can see a very incredible scenery of the harbor. There are seven canals that cross the city, and usually people who live there use it as a reference. People go to the beach to walk, run, sunbathe, play with their dogs or friends and swim in the water. People also use it to practice sports like volleyball and beach tennis. It is a place to enjoy with the friends and family.
