Quebra-Mar

Quebra-Mar, also known as Emissário Submarino, is in the José Menino neighborhood, in Santos, on the São Paulo coast, a 400-meter urban park that juts out to sea and gathers surfers drawn by the wave shape off the structure's rocks. The bottom is rock and the spot delivers perfect walls for maneuvers, good for both beginners and advanced surfers, at one of the most sought-after points on the Santos shoreline, with a surf school operating on site.

The park, named Roberto Mário Santini, has a certified skate track, a basketball court, a pump track, a bike path and a surf viewing deck facing the José Menino waves, plus the Tomie Ohtake sculpture honoring the centennial of Japanese immigration. There have also been old plans for a Surf Museum in the area, which reinforces the place's historical importance to the sport in Baixada Santista. The sunrise seen from Quebra-Mar is one of the most sought-after outings for those who frequent the area before or after the session.
