Uma das poucas praias de Caraguatatuba que vale a visita, a Praia da Mococa tem mar bem calmo e boa infraestrutura de quiosques. O ponto alto fica pelo rio que deságua no mar.

Desperate housewives style!! Beach and waters are not clean!
Reserved and secure condo full of helis, lol!
A lot of showing of (lol!). With it a boat trip through the surrounding Islands.
Nice to visit once and worth to stay at small friendly little hotel at main entrance (quite expensive though...).

Localizada em uma área de preservação ambiental entre a Martin de Sá e a Capricórnio, a Praia Brava tem acesso dificultado pela pequena estrada de terra e, depois, trilha a pé para chegar em suas areias quase sempre vazias e mar agitado. Não tem nenhum quiosque ou restaurante.

Praia dentro da cidade, portanto, não muito limpa e muitas vezes cheia. Vale pelo mar calmo, boa faixa de areia e vários quiosques com preços atrativos. Tem opções bem melhores se estiver de carro.

Localizada no Centro de Caraguatatuba, a Praia Pedra da Freira tem acesso por uma escadaria, sendo ideal para a prática de stand up e afins por causa de suas águas totalmente sem ondas.
Boa infraestrutura de quiosques. Apesar de ter varias praias melhores na região, é a melhor opção do Centro.

Reviewed By Leonardo R - Sao Paulo, SP
Localizada na parte final da Praia de Capricórnio, a Lagoa Azul é limpa, sendo uma boa oportunidade para quem não gosta de água salgada.
A areia fofa e grossa dificulta um pouco a caminhada.
