Fishing near Guarapari, Espírito Santo

Guarapari sits on the southern coast of Espírito Santo, where Atlantic beaches, rocky headlands, and offshore islands combine to make it one of the state's most productive coastal fishing destinations. Shore anglers work the surf and costões (rocky outcrops), while boats run out to Ilhas Rasas and Ilha Escalvada for bottom fishing. The Rio Guarapari, Rio Meaípe, and Lagoa Maimbá round out the local scene for those who prefer calmer water.
