Fishing spots, boat ramps & amenities

Some locations shown may border or include private property. Always check property boundaries and applicable regulations before visiting. onWater's Public & Private Land layer can help you plan your access with confidence.

The entire beachfront is viable, but areas near any visible sandbar formations or deeper troughs are productive. The southern section, closer to the Itajaí-Açu River mouth, can hold different structure and attract a mix of river and ocean species. The absence of major piers or jetties means focus is on natural surf zone structure.
