About Praia da Enseada
Praia da Enseada stretches from the Forte São João area to Cantão do Indaiá in Bertioga. The presence of the urban area and the proximity of the fort at one end allow you to choose between a beach walk and a visit that also includes the historic center.
First decide which section of the Enseada you want to visit. The beach name covers an extensive stretch, and the chosen point affects travel and the services you'll find. For walking, check the condition of the sand, the tide, and the heat before setting the distance of the walk.
If you intend to enter the sea, check current bathing water quality and follow safety signage in the sector you visit. Do not assume the whole Enseada has the same bathing conditions. To combine beach and heritage, plan the visit to Forte São João separately, according to opening hours and the time available for the trip.
