Praia Vermelha do Norte
A curved beach on the northern outskirts of the city, with a slightly reddish sand colour. Its moderate waves are popular with surfers, and a headland viewpoint overlooks the whole bay.
Praia Vermelha do Norte lies about 7 km north of Ubatuba city centre. It is named after its slightly reddish sand. The bay is about 1 km long, with moderate waves, making it a popular spot for beginner and intermediate surfers. The beach has surf schools, bars and seafood restaurants. The viewpoint by the road at the southern end (Mirante da Praia Vermelha do Norte) is a great place to photograph the whole bay and the rainforest, especially at sunset. It is easy to reach, and you can take a local bus from the city centre. Note: it gets crowded at weekends, and watch for rip currents when the waves are big.
