Tenório’s Beach is a 500-meter-long stretch of coastline in Ubatuba known for its strong surf and clear, deep blue waters. The beach is situated between Praia Vermelha do Centro and Praia Grande, separated by rocky headlands. It is characterized by a significant slope, causing the water to become deep only a few meters from the shoreline. The beach is surrounded by lush Atlantic Forest vegetation and private residential complexes. It serves as a popular destination for both local bathers and surfers looking for moderate swells. Kiosks and beach bars line the sand, providing full service to visitors. Access to the beach is facilitated primarily through pedestrian paths between private buildings. The water quality is regularly monitored by CETESB for bathing safety.
