Praia do Siriú is about 4 km long, about 9 km by car from downtown Garopaba. It is quiet, with clean water, and to the south it meets the huge Siriú Dunes. There are inns and restaurants at the north end.
The beach lies in a coastal protection area and in the southern right whale sanctuary.
The most visited spots
- North end: guesthouses, restaurants, the meeting with Lagoa do Macacu and Rio do Poeta, with a wooden bridge and boardwalk.
- Siriú Viewpoint: a deck on top of the north headland, with a view of the whole beach; the headland is the best place for sunrise.
- Siriú Dunes: to the south, kilometers of golden dunes, popular for sandboarding.
- Siriú Islet: the rocky islet offshore, about 1 km out, visible from the sand.
Getting there
From downtown Garopaba it is about 9 km by car: take Rodovia Jovino Piucco (GRP-010) and turn onto Rua Osório Pio do Nascimento (GRP-200), which leads to the north end of the beach, on Estrada Geral da Praia do Siriú. Free, open access.
Features
A long beach, about 4 km, with clean water and a quiet feel. To the south, the Siriú Dunes stretch for kilometers; the north end has the inns, the restaurants and the meeting with Macacu Lagoon.
Things to do
Walk, swim in the sea, sandboard down the Siriú Dunes and take photos. At the north end are Siriú Viewpoint, a deck on top of the rocks, Rio do Poeta, with a wooden bridge and boardwalk, and the meeting with Lagoa do Macacu, with calm water for swimming, kayaking and stand-up paddling. Offshore, about 1 km out, is Siriú Islet, and up the hill, Siriú Waterfall.
The north headland is the best place to watch the sunrise, and the trail to Praia da Gamboa starts there. From July to November, right whales often pass close to the shore.
Safety tips
Go into the sea with care and follow the flags and the lifeguards' instructions, when present. On the dunes, bring water and sunscreen and do not step on the vegetation.
