Itararé Beach (São Vicente) is a 1900 oil by Benedito Calixto, held at Pinacoteca de São Paulo.
The painting depicts a serene beach scene, with a rocky shoreline and a few boats in the water. The sky above is a soft, hazy blue, with a few birds flying overhead. In the distance, a small island rises out of the sea, covered in green vegetation. The artist's use of color and light creates a sense of calm and tranquility, drawing the viewer's eye to the peaceful scene unfolding before them. The brushstrokes are smooth and gentle, adding to the overall sense of serenity.
