I also name the origin of the upscale neighborhood in which it is located. The pioneering and bold urbanization project was developed in 1979 by architects Oswaldo Corrêa Gonçalves (Golden Earring Princess Stadium) and Benno Perelmultter. Its area covers about 9 million square meters, within the urban area of the municipality of Bertioga, which had more than 80% of its preserved occupation area. The beach is ISO 9000 certified for urban development. The certificate was issued by the ABS Quality Evaluations certification body.

Boracéia Beach is a beach of the municipality of Bertioga, SP. [1]

It extends for approximately 5 km in open sea with wide strip of compact and fine sand, bordering the municipality of São Sebastião.

It has moderate waves with shallow, clear water suitable for bathing, has infrastructure of kiosks and tents with residential condominiums in the vicinity.

Maresias is a beach and district at the Atlantic Ocean in the city of São Sebastião, located on São Paulo state's northern coastline, Brazil. The name comes from the ocean breeze that affects the beach and the neighborhood.

The sea at the beach is shaken with big waves and the current is also strong, being one of the most popular surf points in Brazil, serving as a point for some tournaments.[1] The sand is yellowish and soft with 5 kilometers in length. The neighborhood beside the beach attracts many tourists for its variety of restaurants and shops, but specially young people, because of its night clubs.[1] There are also programmed walks in the Atlantic Forest.[1]

The beach was discovered in 1974 by surfers who started to explore the beaches north beyond Guarujá

The city is one of the oldest at the coast, the island of São Sebastião, better known as Ilhabela (Beautiful Island) is only 2 miles off the coast. São Sebastião is a port for oil and has oil industry, but has a small historic center which is worthwhile to see. Its name the city has from Amerigo Vespucci, who passed at January 20th, 1502 (the day of Saint Sebastian) the channel between the island and the continent.
