8 Points of Interest & Landmarks in Santos That You Shouldn't Miss
Although it's also the location of the Latin America's largest seaport, Santos isn't just a boring port town. The city of 420,000, just 75 kilometers from São Paulo, features a seven-kilometer stretch of beach divided into just as many social cliques as you'd find on Ipanema. A verdant promenade separates the beach from the seafront condos and hotels, along which families and friends walk, amble, bike, skate, rollerblade, throw frisbees, you name it. Less sandy points of interest include the Museu do Café Brasileiro (Brazilian Coffee Museum), the Aquário Municipal (City Aquarium), the Orquidário Municipal (City Orchid Garden) and the Neo-Gothic Santos Cathedral.

If you are walking the beaches of Santos the point at Jose Menino divides Praia do Gonzaga from Praia do Itararé, At this point is the Monument 100 Years of Japanese Immigration by artist Tomie Ohtakere. Until you are right up to it you don't realize how immense this is. Although i saw some energetic people climbing on it, to me its mostly a place to walk to. If I hadn't walked there I wouldn't have seen the surfing museum, or the number of people surfing at this area - for me worth spending a bit of time observing a young family teaching the kids how to surf.

This beach is reported to be 7 km. long and that seems about right. I certainly walked about 5 km. of it. This is a nice wide sand beach separated from the roadway by a wide grass park. There are frequent statues and monuments along this greenway, as well as places to eat,showers, foot-wash stations and benches.
