North Coast of São Paulo

Between São Paulo and the Rio de Janeiro border, the Serra do Mar tumbles down into Atlantic Forest beaches. It is a coast of surf, traditional caiçara fishing villages and more than a hundred beaches (from Ubatuba to Ilhabela and São Sebastião), in one of the greenest and rainiest stretches of the Brazilian coast.
