The most sought-after beachfront apartments face Praia da Cocanha and Massaguacu Beach on the northern stretch. Recanto Jubarte earns a 9.8 guest rating and sits directly on the beach, as do Ap Frente Para O Mar (9.6, sea views) and Ap Vista Mar Em Caraguatatuba (9.6, with a pool). If you want to be steps from the sand rather than on it, Chales Alencar (9.8) is just off Massaguacu Beach and lets pets stay.
Yes – several budget options are rated surprisingly well. Recanto Da Praia Kitnetes is the cheapest at US$10 a night and still earns a 9.2 rating, while Vista Lateral Mar Massaguacu (US$15) and Kitnetes & Aptos Praia do Capricornio (US$18) are both rated 9.1. For a little more, Chales Alencar at US$36 and Kitnetes & Aptos Praia do Capricornio at US$37 sit at the higher end of 'cheap' but come with beachfront access and even better ratings.
Martim de Sa is the busiest beach in the south, and plenty of apartments sit within walking distance. Residencial Martinica I (9.0) and Martim De Sa - Caragua (9.0) are both a short walk away, with the latter offering a pool. For a beachfront stay, Martim De Sa De Frente Pro Mar (9.0) puts you right on the shore, while Apartamento Martin De Sa (9.5) combines a pool and free parking with a short stroll to the sand.
Two apartments share the top guest rating of 9.8: Recanto Jubarte, a beachfront property near Cocanha with kitchenettes, and Chales Alencar, a one-bedroom beachfront apartment by Massaguacu Beach. Close behind are Ap Frente Para O Mar and Ap Vista Mar Em Caraguatatuba, both at 9.6 – one a no-pool sea-view apartment over US$200, the other a more affordable beachfront with a pool at US$34.
Yes – many of the set include an outdoor pool, and a few also have a heated one. Canto Verde Aptos II pairs a heated pool with a garden and pet-friendly policy, while Martim De Sa De Frente Pro Mar offers a pool right by Praia do Martim de Sa. For a more communal feel, Chales Bosque Da Cocanha (9.1) combines a pool with a pet-friendly chalet close to Cocanha Beach.
If you're travelling with a dog, you have several good choices. Canto Verde Aptos II (9.3) is a peaceful, pet-friendly spot with a heated pool and garden, while Chales Alencar (9.8) is a beachfront apartment that allows pets and comes with free parking. Sunny Chales Na Prainha Do Jacare is another pet-friendly option that's a short stroll from Prainha.
Most of the set sits within a short walk of a beach, so location rather than quality is the differentiator. Recanto Da Praia Kitnetes (9.2) is a ground-floor apartment near Capricorn Beach and Praia do Capricornio, while Linda Vista E Som Das Ondas (9.1) is beachfront with sea views. For a balance of rating and value, Apartamento Martin De Sa (9.5) offers a pool and is a short stroll from Martim de Sa Beach.
Prices range from as little as US$10 for a basic kitchenette to around US$200 for a beachfront apartment with a sea view. Most mid-range options, like a chalet with a pool, fall between US$30 and US$80.
For walkable access to beaches and shops, choose an apartment near Martim de Sa or Prainha – these have the densest cluster of accommodation. The northern beaches like Cocanha and Massaguacu are quieter but more spread out, so a car helps there.
Caraguatatuba sits on the northern coast of Sao Paulo state, about a 2.5-3 hour drive from the city. There's no airport in town – most visitors fly into Sao Paulo's Guarulhos or Congonhas and drive or take a bus.
The cheapest rates are typically outside the Brazilian summer (December to February) and school holidays, when the town empties. If you're flexible, aim for a weekday stay in March, April, or October.
Caraguatatuba's apartment scene is built around its beaches. The coast here runs in a long arc, and the apartments cluster along it – from the lively sands of Martim de Sa and the surf-friendly Praia do Capricornio in the south, to the quieter stretches of Massaguacu and Cocanha in the north. Many are self-catering kitnetes or chalets with a pool and parking, run by the owner rather than a hotel chain, which means you get space and a kitchen for less than a comparable hotel room.
The spread of prices reflects how close you are to the water. At the budget end, simple rooms with a kitchenette can start around US$10 a night, while a beachfront apartment with a sea view – like those facing Praia da Cocanha – can reach US$200. What you pay for is location: the difference between a 5-minute walk to the sand and being right on it.
These apartments suit travellers who want the independence of a kitchen and the comforts of home, often for less than a hotel – especially if you're staying a while or travelling as a family. They're also ideal for beach lovers who want to be near the sand.
