Praia de Itamambuca
A well-known Brazilian surfing beach. A river flows into the northern end of the roughly 1 km bay, major surfing competitions are held here year-round, and rainforest guesthouses line the surrounding area.
Itamambuca Beach lies about 12 km north of Ubatuba city centre and is a classic surf spot in Brazil. The waves are consistent, and the beach regularly hosts national surfing competitions. There are surf schools and board rentals along the sand, and beginners can sign up for lessons. At the northern end of the beach, the Itamambuca River flows out of the rainforest, and where it meets the sea the water is shallow and calm, making it good for children to splash around in. You can also paddleboard along the river. The surrounding rainforest hides many guesthouses and eco-resorts. Note: the middle section has big waves, so non-surfers should swim within the lifeguard flags. Parking is at the community entrance.
