Torres trip planner

Enticing beaches, bustling boardwalks, and top-notch surfing make a vacation in Torres one of the state's most popular seaside getaways. Though the city itself features a small permanent population, the warmer months see hundreds of thousands of vacationers gather on the sun-soaked shoreline to enjoy the fine sands of Praia Grande, the city's primary beachfront. Basalt rock formations created by volcanic activity dot the landscape, reaching heights of nearly 40 m (131 ft) and providing some nifty backdrops to the oceanfront bustle. Bars, restaurants, resorts, and other tourism staples line the waterfront, and the local boardwalk in the high season buzzes with a laid-back energy. Surfers also flock to Torres' Praia da Cal and Praia dos Molhes, where waves can reach impressive size thanks to the funneling effect of the local geology and seafloor.
