Toque Toque Grande and Toque Toque Pequeno

Toque Toque Grande and Toque Toque Pequeno, Two adjacent beaches in São Sebastião, Brazil.

Toque Toque Grande and Toque Toque Pequeno are two beaches in São Sebastião, Brazil, separated by Praia das Calhetas and 2.4 km apart. Toque Toque Grande is about 400 metres long, while Toque Toque Pequeno exceeds one kilometre. Both have pale sand backed by forested slopes; Toque Toque Grande has a rounded grassy hill on its left and a few white boats offshore.

The name comes from Tupi-Guarani for "island", referring to the offshore islands rather than the beaches: Toque-Toque Grande has the larger island but the shorter beach, about 400 to 800 metres, while Toque-Toque Pequeno has over a kilometre of sand. Toque-Toque Grande remained a fishing village with simple houses and no restaurants, only fishermen's stalls.

The name "Toque-Toque" comes from Tupi-Guarani and means "island", referring to the islands offshore rather than the beaches. Toque-Toque Grande keeps a fishing-village character with simple homes and no restaurants, only a few fishermen's kiosks. Toque-Toque Pequeno has more commerce, lodging and beach kiosks.

Toque-Toque Grande is reached from the BR-101; the beach has no restaurants, only a few fishermen's kiosks, and most of those open in summer. The top of the hill at the left end of the beach can be reached on foot. Toque-Toque Pequeno lies next, heading northwest, with restaurants and mid-class houses between the sand and the highway.

The name "Toque-Toque" comes from Tupi-Guarani and means "island", referring to the islands offshore rather than the beaches. Toque-Toque Grande is the shorter beach (about 400 m in the Portuguese source, some 800 m in the English one) because its island is the larger of the two; Toque-Toque Pequeno is over a kilometre long and its island is much smaller.
