Baixada Santista, Metropolitan region on the coast of São Paulo state, Brazil.

The Baixada Santista encompasses nine municipalities across 2,373 square kilometers of coastal territory between the Atlantic Ocean and Serra do Mar mountains.

The Metropolitan Region of Baixada Santista was established in July 1996, making it the first metropolitan area in Brazil not centered around a state capital.

The region experiences a substantial population increase during vacation periods when visitors from across Brazil come to enjoy the numerous coastal attractions.

The Port of Santos handles over 76 million tons of cargo annually and processes more than 40 percent of Brazil's container traffic through its facilities.

The industrial complex in Cubatão includes petroleum refineries, steel mills, and chemical plants that form one of Brazil's largest manufacturing centers.
