What to do and see in Santos, State of Sao Paulo (SP): The Best Sights & Landmarks
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.

This is the home stadium to Santos FC since 1916. So Pélé played many matches in this stadium. There is a small museum with all the prizes won by the club, and some match balls, e.g. of the 5-1 victory over FC Barcelona in the 1950s. A guide takes groups of visitors through the stadium. This way one sees the press room, a small chapel for the religious players, the dressing room with massage tables and baths, the door with the sign 'doping', the regular and VIP spectator places, and of course the field itself. The guide doesn't talk too much. Most people just want to take pictures anyway. The guide and other staff are very friendly.

I figured it was right along the beach so i might as well check it out. I'm an avid traveler so I've seen my share of Gothic churches. I initially didn't realize how pretty it was as my eyes needed to adjust to the interior after the bright sunshine at the beach. Then I realized how truly pretty this little gem is. Take a few minutes to adjust to see how lovely this

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.
