Enseada Beach, Beach in Guarujá, Brazil
Enseada Beach is a 5.6-kilometre stretch of fine white sand in Guarujá, the longest beach in the municipality, running between the Morro do Maluf and the Península. Its shoreline was planned so that buildings stand only at the two ends, leaving the central waterfront open. The Avenida Miguel Stéfano runs along the coast, and the Mirante da Campina sits about 40 metres up on the Morro do Maluf at the western end.
Enseada is the longest beach in Guarujá, 5.6 km of fine white sand. Its shoreline was planned so that buildings stand only at the two ends, which sets it apart from the municipality's other beaches. In 2021 the coast received 31 access ramps with tactile paving, handrails and guard rails, and in January 2024 it hosted futevôlei, beach volleyball, beach tennis and beach football during the sixth Arena Verão+.
The name Enseada is Portuguese for 'cove', describing the bay between the Morro do Maluf and the Península. The beach hosts Arena Verão+ competitions in futevóley, beach volleyball, beach tennis and beach football, held in January 2024 in their sixth edition. Kiosks and restaurants line the sand, and the Enseada is one of Guarujá's main nightlife spots.
Enseada stretches 5.6 km between the Morro do Maluf and the Península, with the Avenida Miguel Stéfano running along its shore. In 2021 the coast gained 31 access ramps with tactile paving, handrails and guardrails. At the western end, the Mirante da Campina sits about 40 metres up on the Morro do Maluf and looks over the whole beach. CETESB samples water quality at four points, off Estrada de Pernambuco and the streets Uruguay, Chile and Santa Maria.
The beach's urban plan kept buildings off most of the sandfront, so the shoreline stays open except at its two ends; a 2024 proposal would raise the first-row height limit from 11.5 to 15 metres. At the western end, the Mirante da Campina sits about 40 metres up on the Morro do Maluf and looks over the whole 5.6-kilometre arc.
