Brazilian Air Force base serving the Guarujá coastal region.

Location
Guarujá, Brazil
Santos Dumont Air Base, officially known as Santos Nero Moura Air Base, is a Brazilian Air Force (FAB) military installation located in Guarujá, in the state of São Paulo. It operates primarily as a military airfield under the command of the Brazilian Air Force, with limited civilian operations. The airport carries the IATA code SSZ and ICAO code SBST, placing it within the broader Santos metropolitan area on the southeastern coast of Brazil. Its location near the port city of Santos and the beach resort of Guarujá gives it strategic coastal significance. Due to its predominantly military character, commercial airline services are extremely limited or nonexistent at this facility. The nearby Congonhas Airport in São Paulo and Guarulhos International Airport serve as the main civilian gateways for the broader region.

City & Place Guide

Sun-soaked beaches and Atlantic Forest escapes near São Paulo.

Guarujá is a coastal city on the São Paulo coast, occupying Ilha Santo Amaro just 90 kilometers from the state capital. It draws Brazilian families and international visitors alike with its wide sandy beaches, warm Atlantic waters, and lush hillside scenery. Often called the 'Pearl of the Atlantic,' it offers a lively resort atmosphere alongside pockets of quiet natural beauty.

The city is packed with mid-range and luxury hotels, seafood restaurants, and beach clubs, making it a polished but accessible destination. Its proximity to Santos and São Paulo means it gets crowded on summer weekends, so planning ahead is wise. Beyond the sand, visitors can explore Atlantic Forest trails, mangroves, and local fishing villages for a more authentic side of the Baixada Santista region.

  • •Praia da Enseada — the longest and most popular beach, lined with kiosks and calm waters.
  • •Praia de Pernambuco — a calmer, more upscale beach with stunning scenery and resort hotels.
  • •Parque da Cidade — hilltop park offering panoramic views of the coast and surrounding forest.
  • •Aquário Municipal de Guarujá — small but engaging public aquarium showcasing local marine life.
  • •Praia do Tombo — a surfer-favorite beach with consistent waves and a relaxed vibe.
  • •Reserva Ecológica Itororó — a green retreat into Atlantic Forest with trails and birdwatching.

Getting around: Guarujá is reached from Santos via the Balsa do Vicente de Carvalho ferry, a short scenic crossing. Within the city, local buses connect major beaches and neighborhoods affordably. Taxis are widely available, and both Uber and 99 operate in the area, making rideshare a convenient option for getting between beaches and hotels. Renting a bike is a pleasant way to explore the flatter coastal stretches.

Best time: Visit between October and March for warm, sunny weather ideal for beach activities, though December through February is peak season with larger crowds.

Local food: Sample fresh grilled seafood at beachfront kiosks, especially caldeirada de peixe (fish stew), fried shrimp with farofa, and oysters from regional aquaculture farms.
