Roberto Mário Santini Park, Breakwater, Submarine Outfall

In front of you is one of the most beloved spaces on the Santos waterfront. Roberto Mário Santini Park, also known as Breakwater and Submarine Outfall, serves as a true meetingpoint for the city, frequented by people of all ages.

There's always movement here. The park has a skate park, walking areas, a bike path, exercise equipment, a skating area, and also an area used for events and culturalpresentations. It's common to see children playing, young people practicing sports, and families enjoying a stroll by the sea.

To the left of the entrance is the Japanese Space, created in homage to the presence and contribution of the Japanese community in the city. The place features elements inspired by traditional Japanese gardens, inviting visitors to a more tranquil pause amidst the waterfront scenery.

Another highlight of the park is the sculpture by artist Tomie Ohtake. The work, with its characteristic curved and abstract forms, has become one of the park's visual landmarks and a much-photographed spot by visitors.

The park also houses the Santos Surf Museum, a space dedicated to the history of surfing in the city and in Brazil. In the collection, visitors will find more than 70 surfboards, including those of Brazilian world champions Gabriel Medina, Ítalo Ferreira and Adriano Mineirinho, and Americans Kelly Slater and John John Florence.

And of course, all this with a privileged setting. The park occupies one of the most open stretches of the Santos coastline, with a wide view of the ocean and the beachline. On clear days, the landscape is perfect for relaxing, practicing outdoor activities or simply contemplating the sea.

If you can, walk to the end of the breakwater. From there, the view of the coastline gains a unique perspective — a special place to feel up close the historical connection of Santos with the sea.
