Among São Paulo state’s coastal cities, Ubatuba stands apart for an Atlantic shoreline of more than 100 beaches backed closely by the forested Serra do Mar. The municipality includes Núcleo Picinguaba, part of Serra do Mar State Park, where protected Atlantic Forest meets beaches and long-established coastal communities. Itamambuca Beach is a noted surfing spot, while calmer coves elsewhere along the coast suit swimming and boating. Ubatuba’s name comes from Tupi and is commonly interpreted as “place of many canoes,” reflecting the area’s Indigenous roots.
