Guarujá
Founded on September 02, 1893, Guarujá became a traditional summer vacation destination for the Brazilians, especially for the inhabitants of the State of São Paulo. The city is only 89 Km (55.3 mi.) away from the capital of the state of São Paulo. With both busy and almost desert beaches, the city has something to offer both for those looking for fun and for those who want to rest. But the coast is not Guarujá’s only attraction. The island also has one of the oldest golf courses in Brazil, inaugurated in December of 1960. The course covers an area of 200 thousand square meters (239.2 square yards), with 11 holes. Guarujá’s golf course is considered a difficult one, demanding both expertise and precision from the players. The six artificial ponds are themselves quite a big challenge. They are near practically every hole. The practice of other sports, such as tennis and surfing, also has room in the Island. Every year the island hosts competitions of both sports. Besides, there is a bike lane stretching over the whole border of the Bay, thus perfect for a bicycle ride. Guarujá offers practically all services found in big cities: shopping mall, supermarkets, hotels, and restaurants. Its nightlife is very intense, with many bars and nightclubs.
