Saquarema

This city stands out in tourism due to its beaches, especially Itaúna, known as the Maracanã of Brazilian Surf, because of its perfect waves and indescribable beauty and strength.

Few places in Brazil have waves as high as those of Saquarema, and that is why since the 70’s the city hosts national and international surf festivals and championships.
