About Praia de Itaguaré
Praia de Itaguaré is in Bertioga, where the Rio Itaguaré flows directly into the Atlantic Ocean. The meeting of fresh water and sea is the main reference for recognizing the landscape and guiding an observational walk along the stretch of sand.
The proximity of the mouth requires attention to water movement. To view the meeting of the river and the ocean, choose a safe point on land and avoid crossing the mouth. The tide and weather can significantly change the appearance of the place and movement on the sand.
Before leaving, check the indicated access to Itaguaré and the current rules for any trail you may want to add to the outing. Do not confuse a beach visit with authorization to enter other natural environments. Take only what you need for walking, collect your waste, and leave your return planned before moving away from the access.
