About Saquarema
Saquarema is a town on the coast of Rio de Janeiro state in Brazil, east of the city of Rio, set between the sea and a lagoon. Its best-known surf is at Praia de Itaúna, where waves break over sand and are often described as fast and powerful for a beach, and where rock formations lie offshore at one end. The town has become closely associated with competitive surfing in Brazil, and professional contests have been held there for years. Surf reaches this coast through much of the year, and the best conditions commonly arrive in the southern autumn and winter, typically from around April to September. A hilltop church stands above the beach and is the town's landmark. The waves are generally regarded as suited to confident surfers, though calmer beaches lie nearby.
