Praia da Baleia, Beach in São Sebastião, Brazil
The Praia da Baleia features a long stretch of firm sand with sections suitable for surfing and areas with calm, shallow waters.
The beach received its name from a nearby island formation that resembles the shape of a whale, visible from the shoreline.
Local residents organize through community associations to maintain beach cleanliness and environmental preservation, setting standards for regional coastal management.
Located 42 kilometers from São Sebastião center, visitors can access the beach through Estrada do Camburi with parking available along residential streets.
The beach offers boat trips to neighboring islands where visitors can observe dolphins and practice snorkeling near Montão de Trigo and Couves islands.
