Guarujá
Guarujá is São Paulo's most accessible surf destination, a beach resort that offers surprisingly good waves when swells hit. The rocky corners produce the best surf, with rights off the rocks being particularly noteworthy on bigger days. As the closest proper surf to São Paulo city, it gets crowded but delivers for those with limited time.
