Itanhaém, Coastal municipality in São Paulo, Brazil

The municipality stretches along 26 kilometers of Atlantic coastline, featuring multiple beaches interspersed with rocky outcrops and dense Atlantic Forest vegetation.

Founded in 1532 by Portuguese explorer Martim Afonso de Souza, Itanhaém holds the distinction of being the second oldest city established in Brazil.

The Convento Nossa Senhora da Conceição, constructed in 1561, represents the architectural inheritance of Portuguese colonization and religious practices in the region.

The municipality connects to São Paulo city through the Padre Manoel da Nóbrega highway, with regular bus services operating between both destinations.

The name Itanhaém derives from Tupi language words meaning 'plate of rock', referencing the characteristic stone formations along its coastline.
