Enseada

Enseada Beach is the longest in Guarujá, on the São Paulo coast, with several sandbars spread along its whole length and considered a favorite of the city's surfers. The bottom is sand and the spot is very consistent, picking up practically every swell direction, with the right end generally holding more surf and the shape getting fuller as you walk toward the left end.

On the right days, when the swell comes in aligned from the southeast or east with light wind, Enseada shows its best face, with long, well-formed waves ideal for long-line maneuvers. The beach has surf schools offering lessons for beginners, which makes it a good entry point to the sport as well as an option for those with more experience. It's worth exploring different stretches of the beach, since being so long the crowd tends to spread out well along the shore.
