Itapeva, the open beach south of Guarita in Itapeva State Park, is where Torres surfers escape the summer crowds. Waves break on sandbars and near the Guarita hill and the Pedra da Itapeva rocks, hollow and fast on the inside. The beach is wide open, so any strong wind spoils it; go early on a west or northwest wind. Intermediate surfers will have plenty of room, but nobody to help, so do not surf it alone.
