Praia de Itaparica is a broad, sandy beach located in Vila Velha, part of the Greater Vitória metropolitan area in Espírito Santo, Brazil. It is geographically an extension of the popular Praia da Costa to its north, forming part of a nearly continuous stretch of coastline that includes Praia de Itapoã and Praia de Coqueiral. The beach is characterized by its expansive sandy shore and is noted for waves more suitable for surfing compared to its neighbors. A well-developed boardwalk features a higher concentration of bars and kiosks, contributing to a vibrant beach life atmosphere. The location is recognized for being clean, safe, and pleasant, with natural attractions including nearby corals that can be explored.

The primary structure for fishing is the sandy beach itself and the surf zone. A highly notable spot for anglers is the nearby Praia dos Pescadores (Fishermen's Beach). This is not a separate beach but the specific area right between Praia da Costa and Praia de Itapoã, adjacent to Itaparica. Here, dozens of fishing boats are moored, and fishermen are actively engaged in cleaning mussels, cooking fish, and selling crabs directly on the sand. This hub of fishing activity is a key location for both observing the local fishing culture and potentially for shore fishing.
