Praia da Boracéia is a long, open-ocean beach stretching approximately 9 kilometers along the São Paulo coast, forming the border between the municipalities of Bertioga and São Sebastião. Characterized by its wide, dark, and compact sandy shoreline, it is backed by preserved mountains and lush Atlantic Forest, offering a more tranquil and less crowded alternative to other beaches in the Baixada Santista region. The beach is divided, with one half belonging to each municipality, and is known as a principal point of Caiçara culture. The sea conditions here are typically calm for much of the year, creating warm, pool-like waters in sections, though it is an open beach with areas that can develop stronger waves and currents. The expansive sandy strip and preserved natural setting make it a distinctive destination for shore-based angling.
