Rio Silveira is an indigenous village close to the Boracéia beach, a heritage of Bertioga's Native Brazilian past. The village is inhabited by about 400 Native Brazilians and can be visited under appointment.
– 330 km. Itatinga is a village built in the beginning of the XX century around the hydro-electrical power of the same name, which functions until nowadays. The ride to the village is an attraction by itself, as it includes a ferry boat crossing of the Itapanhaú river and a 7-km ride on an old tram. After seeing the historical houses, it is possible to take one of the trekking routes and enjoy the nature of Serra do Mar. Visiting is only possible through tourism agencies like Seivatur.
The oldest fortress of Brazil, constructed by Portuguese settlers to defend the Bertioga channel from both Native Brazilians and French pirates. Contains expositions of XVI century weapons and indigenous culture and artifacts, including drawings made by Hans Staden.
Bertioga's most famous and affluent beach, surrounded by palm trees, upper class apartments (the Riviera neighborhood) and having good tourist infrastructure. Good for both surfing and swimming, but the sea can get violent sometimes. A bit like the more famous Maresias beach in São Sebastião, it attracts younger crowds and has expressive nightlife.
Long beach with 12 km, it is polluted in the west side (at downtown) but clean in the east side (at Indaiá).
Long and quiet beach, with few houses and a lot of forest around. Not much infrastructure either.
More crowded than Guaratuba due to the presence of a large gated community nearby. It contains some kiosks and camping facilities.
Semidesert beach completely surrounded by preserved rainforest. It attracts surfers due to its strong waves. It can be accessed by car or by walking from the east of the São Lourenço beach.
