Guarujá, Coastal municipality in São Paulo, Brazil

Located on Santo Amaro Island, Guarujá features 27 different beaches along the South Atlantic coast with Pitangueiras and Enseada among the largest ones.

The area transformed from a small settlement to an official municipality in 1934, previously functioning as a district within the Santos administrative region.

The name originates from Tupi language meaning 'narrow path', reflecting the indigenous heritage that influenced the geographical naming of this Brazilian coastal region.

Visitors from São Paulo reach Guarujá via the Imigrantes highway in under one hour, with regular bus connections operating between both cities.

The Santos Air Force Base operates in Guarujá, which served as the training ground for Bosnia and Herzegovina national team during 2014 FIFA World Cup.
