Helpfulness
In an I gave can be carried out this beautiful walk, we were in Bertioga, and we decide to know another natural place, reserved and with exquisite beaches. A guide of the place recommended us to be going to visit White Beach. We take a ferry responsible for crossing the vehicles to the other extreme of the river that flows into in this city. The spring of where the embarkations leave, this to a side of the Strong one San Jose. The trip is free, and hard some 20 minutes. Is a ferry that leaves several times by I gave. The journey is short, but comova slowly, the walk can enjoy itself. Upon arriving at the other side, there is a path to the side of the entrance, likewise they will see that the majority of the people goes over there. A short walk from fifteen minutes through a path of stones is done, which is very beautiful, a lot of vegetation is seen, and for moments the sea. Arriving at the end, some hosteles they are seen and places to eat very simple. White beach is a place something hidden of small proportions, with a beautiful beach, does not have great tourist infrastructure. The sea of this beach is tranquil, since does a bay that stands in the way of the waves, where can enter enough meters to the sea without problem. The water of this beach are clean and quite crystalline.
