Cananéia is considered by some Portuguese and Spanish historians to be the oldest city in Brazil, five months before the founding of São Vicente, but due to the lack of official documentation proving this fact, São Vicente is officially the oldest city in Brazil. The Historic Center of Cananéia, listed by CONDEPHAAT, still preserves the architectural styles adopted by the first houses and churches from the colonial period until the end of the 19th century. The beaches also attract thousands of people in high season, and Ilha do Cardoso has several trails and waterfalls, as well as several archaeological sites. Festivals, cuisine and handicrafts are also attractions apart from the city, whose main sources of income are fishing and tourism.
Due to its natural beauty and rich ecosystem, it is listed as a Natural Heritage Site by UNESCO.
