Praia Grande
The origins of the little town of Praia Grande, 16km/10mi south-west of Santos, go back to the 16th century, when the first settlers coming in from São Vicente established themselves here. Nowadays the town with its numerous apartment blocks attracts thousands of vacationers in summer.
The best beaches are Boqueirão (in town), Canto do Forte (1km/.7mi north) and Guilhermina (1km/.7mi south). There is also good fishing in the rivers and coastal waters; for sea fishing the best place is the little port of Mar Pequeno.
