Praia Aviação, Public beach in Praia Grande, Brazil.
The wide sandy shoreline of Praia da Aviação extends along the coast, featuring palm trees and strong waves suitable for water activities.
The beach takes its name from the Santos Aero Club established in 1936, which served as a landing point for the Brazilian Air Force.
Local surfing communities gather at Praia da Aviação to practice their sport and share experiences while enjoying the consistent wave patterns.
Beach kiosks and restaurants offer chairs, umbrellas, refreshments, and regional dishes to visitors throughout the operating hours from sunrise to sunset.
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, author of The Little Prince, once landed at the original airfield that preceded the current beach location.
