Santos, Brazil: World's Longest Beachfront Garden

Santos, a coastal city in Brazil's São Paulo state, is a major seaport linking the mainland to São Vicente Island. Its urban center along the Bay of Santos features wide beaches and the adjacent 5.3 km-long beachfront garden, recognized by Guinness World Records as the world's largest. Visit the Museu do Café in a preserved 1922 historic building to explore Brazil's coffee trade legacy, and see the football memorial dedicated to Pelé and Santos FC legends. Located 50 km from São Paulo, the city includes the Laje de Santos Marine State Park and contrasts a densely urbanized island with a continental area where 70% is protected.
