Centro Peruíbe

Peruíbe's Centro Beach, also called Orla dos Coqueiros, is about 13 km long on the south coast of São Paulo, changing its name with each neighborhood it crosses, but concentrating most of the city's tourist infrastructure. The bottom is firm sand and the sea is usually choppier near the commercial center and close to the breakwater, mainly attracting beginner surfers looking for more accessible waves.

The shoreline is well kept, with boardwalk, bike path, coconut palm gardens and several kiosks serving snacks and coconut water, and it's one of the busiest spots in town on weekends and holiday season. In the north sector of the beach the water tends to be calmer, good for family swims, while in the central stretch the stronger sea favors those who already want to practice paddling and reading sets. Before any swim, it's worth consulting Cetesb's weekly bulletin, since water quality varies a lot with the weather and the volume of rain in the region.
