General

The community, which likes to call itself the pearl of the Atlantic , has the official status of a spa, an Estância balneária . The economy is determined by tourism. Numerous beaches attract visitors, especially from the state capital São Paulo with its more than 10 million people. In the 1970s, the then much smaller town was still very chic. Today's overdevelopment is easy to see from the beaches lined with high-rise buildings.

Beaches such as Praia da Pitangueiras and Praia das Astúrias are popular; The Praia do Tombo is particularly recommended for surfers.
