Praia do Cedro do Sul is a secluded, rugged beach in Ubatuba, accessible primarily by hiking trails or boat. It is characterized by its crystalline, emerald-green waters and a dense surrounding Atlantic Forest canopy. The beach lacks permanent infrastructure, such as kiosks or restaurants, maintaining a wild and preserved environment. The coastline consists of coarse, light-colored sand flanked by rocky formations. It is a favored location for snorkeling due to the high visibility of the water and presence of diverse marine life. The area is part of the broader conservation zone within the Ubatuba region.
