Bertioga is a Brazilian municipality in the state of São Paulo and part of the Baixada Santista Metropolitan Region.[3] Its population is 64,723 (2020 est.) in an area of 490.15 km2.[4] Because it neighbors resort towns, its population fluctuates greatly with the seasons. The more northern parts are densely forested and humanly unpopulated. It was created on 19 May 1991, from a part of Santos.
