Praia Grande

Praia Grande lives up to its name — this São Paulo coast city stretches along a continuous 22.5-kilometer ribbon of sand, divided into a dozen beach neighborhoods that shift from bustling high-rise stretches to quiet family shores. Just 70 kilometers from Brazil's largest city, it is the definitive weekend escape for paulistanos craving salt air, seafood, and space to spread out. The fully revitalized waterfront promenade links every beach with a protected bike lane, modern kiosks, themed children's playgrounds, and shaded gardens. Whether you want to surf, fish, cycle the entire coastline, or simply eat grilled shrimp at a boardwalk stall while watching the Atlantic roll in, Praia Grande delivers with an energy that is very much its own.
