Praia Grande: Museums, Exhibitions & Discounts

Praia Grande is a coastal municipality located in the state of São Paulo, Brazil. The city is part of the Metropolitan Region of Baixada Santista and is known for its 22.5 kilometers of beaches along the Atlantic Ocean. Originally a vacation destination, it has evolved into a significant urban center with a growing permanent population.

The city's development accelerated in the latter half of the 20th century, transforming from a small beach town into a modern urban area. While tourism remains an important part of its economy, particularly during summer months, Praia Grande has developed a diverse cultural scene with various cultural centers and public spaces dedicated to arts and education. The city maintains a balance between preserving its coastal character and accommodating urban development, with efforts to protect its natural environment while supporting cultural initiatives.
