Ubatuba
The town of Ubatuba, along with its surrounding municipalities, is home to over 100 beaches of all different types, making it an ideal getaway for Paulistanos. It lies roughly 140 miles (225 kilometers) from São Paulo on the beautiful Litoral Norte coastline that runs all the way from the state of São Paulo to Rio de Janeiro and is accessible by bus or car. If you’re into surfing, check out Praia Vermelha do Norte or Praia Grande; if relaxation is your thing, Praia da Fortaleza and the stunning Praia da Santa Rita are the places to go. For a bit of nature, head to Picinguaba and take the boat over to Ilha das Couves, an almost completely untouched piece of paradise.
