Perequê

Perequê Beach is in the east of Guarujá Island, on the São Paulo coast, a few minutes from Pernambuco Beach, and is the city's largest fishing colony, with a strong seafood tradition. The bottom is sand and the spot has good waves on the left side, but it's on the right side that longboarders most covet surfing, since the waves there are long and perfect, although they only break in very specific conditions.

The beach works best with south swell and east wind, but it needs good pressure in the prevailing south swell to really deliver quality. Along the inner boardwalk you can find a wide variety of restaurants, from Japanese to buffet-style, which makes Perequê a dining hub in Guarujá too. It's worth closely following the south swell forecast, since this spot usually goes much of the year without surfable conditions.
