Praia da Almada
A traditional fishing-village beach on the north shore with small waves and clear water. It has seafood restaurants and boats to Ilha das Couves, and the atmosphere is relaxed.
Praia da Almada lies in northern Ubatuba, near Picinguaba. It is a bay that still keeps the look of a traditional fishing village. The sea is calm, making it good for swimming and stand-up paddleboarding. Several family-run seafood restaurants line the sand, serving fresh fried fish and shrimp. In peak season, fishing boats leave from here for Ilha das Couves and the nearby Praia do Engenho and Praia Brava da Almada. A path on the north side of the beach leads to the more secluded Brava da Almada. It is a good place to stop for lunch on a day trip along the north shore. Note: the road into the beach is narrow, and parking is limited on weekends.
