ThiagoRamos Says: I don´t know if FRESCOBOL is also played in other countries´ beaches, but it´s a traditional thing here in Brazil!!! At least in São Paulo...Two people with rackets and a ball. The thing is: you don´t play against the other; you play it together. You can´t let the ball touch...
Walking on the shore sidewalk...
ThiagoRamos Says: Quiet and peaceful on ordinary days, crowded and alive on holidays, the shore sidewalk - surrounded by lovely coconut trees - is always a great place for a walk in the morning or in the end of the afternoon.It was recently refurbished and its appearance has improved a lot...
ThiagoRamos Says: Praia Grande´s beaches are definitely not the most beautiful you´ll ever see. They´re large beaches (as the name of the city suggests!!!) with no particular attractions. But it´s a great place to relax on weekends if you´re tired of São Paulo. It can also be a very...

ThiagoRamos Says: Eating at the beach is great!!! Maybe the street vendors don´t rate the hygienic standards imposed by the government (who knows???), but I´ve never had a problem eating these things. Trust me... eat at the beach!!!If you don´t like the idea, don´t worry. You´ll find many...
ThiagoCarneiro Says: We could ultimately say that Boqueirao is the most populated area of Prai Grande due to its infrastructure and house prices and common driving forces, there is a lot of live concerts by global musicians and there are lots of different activities in the high season, however...
ThiagoRamos Says: Praia Grande is not known as a beach city that receives large groups of young students for summer holidays. Instead many families come here looking for relaxing days. Therefore, the nightlife is definitely not the highlight of the city.The best option is to hang around the...
If you need to buy anything (and I mean anything!!!), go to Litoral Plaza Shopping, next to "Portal" at Av. Ayrton Senna. You´ll probably find what you need there.

Unfortunately, Praia Grande is not the safest city in Brazil.
Just like other beach cities near São Paulo - like Guarujá, Santos and Mongaguá - Praia Grande´s population is mostly poor and, specially during summer holidays, a few crimes are always reported.
Just be careful, don´t overexpose your values, never walk around desert beaches at night and, while at the beach, keep your things where you can see them. You´ll be fine.

Favorite thing: As you enter Praia Grande, you´ll notice the brand new "Portal" ("Doorway" in portuguese) and a homage to brazilian F1 driver Ayrton Senna, who died tragically during F1 San Marino GP in 1994.
By the way, Ayrton Senna also lends his name to this avenue.
