About the spot
Félix Beach is in Ubatuba, on the north coast of São Paulo, right after the famous Itamambuca, with access through a free-entry condominium and white, soft sand framed by big rocks at the right end. The bottom at the left end is a steep shorebreak, and that's where the strong waves concentrate, much sought after for surfing, even forming good barrels, mainly between autumn and winter with east swell, while the right end has calm sea, ideal for stand up paddle and families.
It's considered a wave for experienced surfers, with heavy, big and perfect barrels not at all rare, with crystal-clear water and the Atlantic Forest as the backdrop of one of the most mind-blowing spots in the area. The beach also gives access to boat trips to Ilha do Prumirim and to trails to the neighboring beaches of Português and Conchas. The tip is to head to the left end for real waves, and save the right side for those with family who prefer calmer water.
