Praia Grande is a classic urban surf fishing destination on the central coast of São Paulo, Brazil. This dissipative beach environment, characterized by its high-energy surf zone, supports a diverse and dynamic fish assemblage. The fishing here is conducted exclusively from the shore, with anglers targeting a variety of bottom-dwelling and pelagic species that inhabit the turbulent waters just beyond the breakers. The beach's accessibility and proximity to urban centers make it a popular location for both recreational anglers and local commercial fishers, creating a vibrant and sometimes competitive fishing culture along its expansive shoreline.

The entire surf zone of Praia Grande serves as the fishing area. Key spots are typically located along stretches of beach where underwater troughs or channels come close to shore, providing slightly deeper water accessible to casters. The study of fish diets sampled at three specific points in the surf zone, separated by 150 meters, indicating that such spaced intervals along the beach can represent productive fishing areas. Productive fishing often occurs parallel to the shoreline in water depths of approximately 1 meter, where many bottom-feeding species congregate.
