Praia de Camburi
Espírito Santo
Praia de Camburi is the largest and only beach located on the continental area of Vitória, the capital of Espírito Santo, Brazil, stretching over 6 kilometers. It spans the neighborhoods of Mata da Praia, Jardim da Penha, and Jardim Camburi, and is lined by the popular Avenida Dante Michelini, known locally as Beira-Mar. The beach is a hub for sports and leisure, hosting national and international tournaments such as beach volleyball, sand football, and sailing championships. Its extensive and well-maintained boardwalk is a favored spot for jogging and social gatherings among locals. The northern end features the Pier de Iemanjá with a statue of the 'Queen of the Sea,' a key tourist attraction offering panoramic views of surrounding neighborhoods. Praia de Camburi is also adjacent to the Baía das Tartarugas, Vitória's first marine Environmental Protection Area, established in 2018 to conserve rich marine biodiversity including green turtles, dolphins, rays, and occasionally whales. The nearby Atlântica Parque, inaugurated in 2019, adds green space and recreational facilities at the beach's northern tip. The name 'Camburi' is believed to mean 'the river that changes' or 'the river of the snook' in an indigenous language, reflecting the area's natural heritage.
