Astúrias

Astúrias Beach is in one of the most urbanized areas of Guarujá, on the São Paulo coast, with a Blue Flag for environmental quality and easy access to kiosks, restaurants and lodging. The bottom is sand and the waves tend to be fuller and weaker than at the city's other spots, which makes the place a favorite for those learning to surf or riding longboards, although the left end, protected from the southwest wind, can hold bigger waves on strong east swell days.

It is considered Guarujá's most democratic spot, but it fills up a lot on weekends, especially when local championships are held in the area. The beach also carries the memory of the city's first surfers, who gathered in the 60s and 70s near the Monduba building. To practice paddling and reading waves more calmly, the best time is a weekday morning.
