Porchat island

Reviewed By Quetzalcoatl - San Francisco

This island is the one that is linked to Sao Vicente by the Ponte Pensil. There are a bunch of bars and restaurants on the island, so it's a good spot for nightlife. Probably the highlight is the large white lookout that was designed by Brazilian architect Oscar Niemeyer. It gives nice views of Sao Vicente and Santos below.

Suspension Bridge

Reviewed By Quetzalcoatl - San Francisco

YOu will probably see the Ponte Pensil suspension bridge from the beach at Sao Vicente. It's a very pretty white bridge, good for taking pictures. However, there's not really much to "do' regarding this bridge. You can look at it, and take a picture, but that's about it. There's usually a stream of traffic waiting in one of either directions since the bridge is old, and the traffic only goes one way across (at least that is how it seemed to me). Nice to see, but not much to do there.

Milionarios beach

Reviewed By zip98221 - Anacortes, Washington

The beach is Sao Vicente (SV) is a great place to visit. There is a great bike path that lets you ride the entire beach front of both SV and Santos. There are many restaurants in front of the beach. Life is very laid back here without the hustle and bustle of Rio. It is also a much safer place than Rio.
The weather from December to February is both very hot and humid. March and April are very rainy. I think that the best time to visit SV is from July through. Sometimes July and August can be a little Chile, but in most cases is still nice.
There are not of a lot of sites with things to do. As I said, life is pretty laid back here. There are some interesting museums, but for the most part SV is the place to walk along the beach, sit in the sun, and read a book.

Museu de Ciencias Naturais Joias da Natureza

Thursday - Sunday : 10am - 6pm

Reviewed By Victor F - Salvador, BA

A visita custou R$ 15, preço único, e valeu a pena. Fica em frente ao Mirante da Campina, no Guarujá, o endereço do tripadvisor está desatualizado.
Dos 4 jovens que nos deram explicações, a única moça do grupo se destacou como a mais apta a realizar esse trabalho, dissertando com tranquilidade e conhecimento, enquanto os demais tinham alguns traços de insegurança e alguma dúvida, mas nada a ponto de comprometer a qualidade da visita.
Se tudo que está lá dentro realmente tiver a origem descrita, você vai encontrar areia ou pedras do Brasil todo e do mundo inteiro. O acervo é bem grande e dá uma grande noção da origem do universo, da vida, das eras geológicas e tudo mais que se relaciona às ciências naturais. Dá para conhecer as propriedades e qualidades de alguns minérios, entre outros elementos.
Recomendo a visita para quem curte dedicar tempo ao aprendizado, uma grande quantidade de informações será passada, vale a pena para revisitar o que se estudou na escola.

Itaquitanduva Beach

Reviewed By rafaellabate - Praia Grande, SP

Essa praia é de acesso complicado. Isso por um lado é bom, pois do jeito que está São Vicente em relação a lixo e etc, essa seria mais uma vítima. Existem projetos sociais para preservar essa linda praia que dá altas ondas! Informe-se antes de subir o morro para a trilha e ao chegar lá, mantenha o respeito com o ambiente e com os locais.

A nice view of the bay, that is all you get out of it. The average score is given for the nice view not by the structure nor the total lack of tourism oriented facility.

É um excelente espaço. Ha não muito tempo inauguraram um espaço de observação de material geológico, sendo um ótimo jeito de manter o público em contato com a natureza.
