Praia de Itaguaçu, Sand beach in São Francisco do Sul, Brazil.
Itaguaçu Beach extends between João Dias Hill and Ubatuba Beach, featuring a long stretch of sand with strong waves and clean waters.
The beach area contains monazitic sands near its left corner, which have been historically used for therapeutic purposes to treat conditions like rheumatism.
Local fishing communities maintain traditional practices along the coastline, contributing to the region's maritime customs and seafood-based culinary traditions.
Located 15 kilometers from São Francisco do Sul's Historic Center, the beach offers parking areas along the coast and includes wheelchair-accessible facilities.
The beach name originates from Tupi-Guarani language, meaning 'big head of stone in water' due to its distinctive rock formations.
