Exploring São Paulo State
The São Paulo coast is divided into the Litoral
Norte, which stretches towards Rio in the northeast
from the port city of Santos, and the Litoral Sul,
which stretches from Santos towards Paraná state.
The Litoral Norte is one of the most heavily visited
coastlines in southeastern Brazil. Beaches on the
Ilhabela, Brazil's largest tropical island, and the
resort of Ubatuba, are magnificently backed by
towering spurs swathed in tropical rainforest. The
sands of the Litoral Sul are darker and siltier than
those of the Litoral Norte. Around Cananéia and
Juréia, and stretching into Paraná, are the largest
tracts of lowland coastal forest outside the Amazon.
The beautiful beaches of the Ilha do Cardoso are
just a boat ride away from Cananéia.
