Itaquanduba

What makes it special

• The waterfront has 440 m of sand with tall coconut palms and a bike path, and the calm sea suits canoeing, sailing, stand up paddle and beach football (Turismo Ilhabela).
• Marina Porto Ilhabela is on Praia do Itaquanduba, where the 90 km canoe race VIBE 90k starts and finishes; the beach has also hosted the Ilhabela Open Beach Tennis for eight years.
• Services close to home: the Itaquanduba health post (UBS) reopened in 2024 with six consulting rooms, and the Itaquanduba Cultural Centre runs Fundaci dance, music and art classes.
• The Integrated Education Hub (PEII) on Rua Antônio Carlos da Fé has a covered semi-Olympic pool, a football pitch and a sports court (city Catalogue), and the new civic-municipal school for years 6 to 9 was due to open in early 2026 (city).
• The beach's Tupi name probably refers to the boulders scattered around the neighbourhood, which broke off Pico do Baepi over centuries (Turismo Ilhabela).

What to weigh

• The beach has a muddy bottom and is little used for swimming (Turismo Ilhabela); Cetesb rated it unfit for bathing in its first bulletin of 2025 (Metrópoles) and in all of the first 24 weeks of 2019 (Tamoios News).
• The sewage network was still being completed in 2024: about R$ 6 million to connect more than 400 homes (city). Ask whether the property is already connected.
• There are slopes: a 2024 UNICAMP study measured susceptibility (not mapped risk) and found 25.18% of the neighbourhood's urbanised area in medium and 3.06% in high susceptibility to landslides (Piedade and Amorim); in the upper part, residents reported houses at risk before the 2018 works (city).
• The Morro dos Mineiros settlement, between Itaguassu and Itaquanduba, is in the city's land-title regularisation programme (city, 2018): check the title status before buying there.
