Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

This beach is right in the middle of Santos which makes it very convenient. However, the beach is very wide and not very soft sand. Good for running, playing futbol (soccer) etc and there are lots of activities going on. There was a lot of surfing going on and it was fun to watch off the point. Some surf warnings around the point and island that is in the bay. We had a fun time on a partly cloudy day, but for a real beach day I would go somewhere else.

Santos is my hometown and everytime I can I go and visit there...I just love Jose Menino Beach... there are great and cheap hotels nearby, you can walk along the sidewalks towards the beach, and at the beach....you can walk, enjoy the surprising sightseeing, stop at the stands at the beach for a drink , if its very hot you can swim in the ocean... there is the Surf Museum...just amazing! I just love going there!!! Go and then tell me!!!

The water on the beach was warm, there was coconut water, fried empanadas
and fried cheese. The beach was close to the city. I recommend that you know Portuguese because there is nothing in English or Spanish

Good beach, there is a small island in front, close to the Santos-São Vicente border and the place where I stayed. I went for a run in the late afternoon.

Existe algum site que informa a balneabilidade diária na praia José menino? Mas geralmente ela é própria pra banho?
Written 11 January 2020
Assim que termina o caçadão, antes de começar a faixa de areia, existem bandeiras em todas as praias de Santos,(própria ou imprópria).
Fiquei uma semana nessa praia e não tive problema nenhum, mas com muita chuva provavelmente a bandeira será de praia imprópria.

É possível, saudável, entrar nas águas da praia de José menino?
Written 3 February 2018
Fui só pra fazer uma caminhada,mas segundo informações locais,qdo chove muito as praias ficam impróprias, e as localizadas mais no meio(Embaré e Gonzaga)são as melhores. Já a da ponta da praia, mesmo parecendo limpa, tem toda a contaminação do canal do porto.Vale a pena conferir na época de estar lá, pois em se tratando de natureza,tudo muda o tp todo, além da possibilidade de melhorias por parte da Prefeitura.
