Pereque
The northern coast of the state of São Paulo, Brazil, is certainly too underestimated when it comes to beaches. Many - maybe most - proud paulistas often disdain the beaches in in the neighbour state of Rio de Janeiro and strongly believe that São Paulo's beaches to be more beautiful than those in Rio. In fact, they are right!  You can verify it, for example, when you're on the ferry that links the cities of São Sebastião and Ilhabela.
