Sao Paulo Surf Breaks
All the main spots in Sao Paulo are beach breaks. Although Sao Paulo is one of the largest cities in the world (biggest in Brazil) the coastal region is not heavily populated. Heading north from the city you'll find the famous Serra Do Mar national park. The coastline, islands, jungle and beaches are stunningly beautiful. The south coast of Sao Paulo state is more connected to the city itself so the beach breaks there are much busier and the scenery is less dramatic.
