Audio Guide of Almada Beach

The beach is open 24 hours a day all year round, as it is a natural public space. The main access is via a trail of approximately 1 km from the Rio-Santos highway (BR-101), which takes about 20 minutes on foot; there is a nearby parking area. For more details, check the official Ubatuba tourism site.

Entry to Almada Beach is completely free, with no fees or charges for access. Just consider expenses for transportation or nearby parking if you go by car.

It is recommended to spend between 2 and 4 hours to fully enjoy the beach, including the round-trip time on the trail. It is ideal for a relaxed half-day if you combine it with swimming and snorkeling.

Almada Beach is a natural gem of Ubatuba, surrounded by the Atlantic Forest, notable for its crystal-clear waters and fine sand, protected as part of Brazil's environmental heritage. It does not have a specific historical significance, but it represents the coastal biodiversity of São Paulo and is popular among ecotourists.

The best period is during the southern summer (December to March) for warm waters, preferably early in the morning to avoid crowds and enjoy the soft sun. Avoid rainy weekends in winter.

It is not very accessible due to the steep trail with stairs of about 20 minutes; there are no ramps or paved paths. It is recommended for people in good physical shape; check nearby alternatives on the Ubatuba tourism site.

Nearby you will find Félix Beach (10 minutes on foot), Prumirim Beach with a waterfall, and the Tamar Project for sea turtles. Explore the Ubatuba beach route for more natural options.

Bring water, sunscreen, snacks, and a trash bag to keep it clean; wear comfortable shoes for the trail and go in a group for safety. Check the weather on local apps and download offline maps.
