Access
|
Short walk |
Boraceia is near Bertioga. From Sao Paulo take Rod. Anchieta or Rod. dos Imigrantes (to Santos), take the 'Rio-Santo' road to Bertioga, right after Bertioga, Boraceia is the first beach of Sao Sebastiao and the first beach you can see all over the way.

No special rules, stay away from people and trouble, use a kite leash because the road is side by side with the sand and the wind is side onshore. Lifeguards will advert if you get too close to swimmers.
