Praia da Boracéia is a beach located within the municipality of Bertioga in the Região Metropolitana da Baixada Santista. It is part of the Litoral Norte region of São Paulo state, a coastal area known for its extensive and scenic beaches. The beach is situated along the SP-055 (Rio-Santos highway), approximately 150 kilometers or a 2.5-hour drive from the city of São Paulo. For paddlers launching from shore, this location offers direct ocean access. The beach is a recognized surf spot, with competitions like the Circuito Bertioga de Surf holding stages here, indicating the presence of rideable waves. This suggests that paddlers, especially those on surf skis or SUPs, should be prepared for potential shore break and surf conditions when entering or exiting the water. The winter months, specifically June through August, are noted for producing larger and more favorable waves for water sports in the region, which could translate to more challenging but exciting paddling conditions for experienced individuals. The beach is less crowded during this season. The overall character is that of a typical Brazilian coastal beach, with its vibe shifting from a potential surf destination in the winter to a more general beach destination. The immediate area is part of a string of beaches along the coast; from Praia da Boracéia, it is a distance of two more beaches to reach Juquehy, suggesting that coastal paddling trips to neighboring beaches are a feasible option.
