São Sebastião's air quality benefits from its São Paulo state northern Atlantic coast position between Santos and Ubatuba, with consistent sea breezes providing reliable maritime ventilation along this scenic Litoral Norte resort and oil terminal coastline. Vehicle emissions from the SP-099 and the Petrobras oil terminal operations contribute local sources, while the Serra do Mar escarpment and the coastal position create dramatic topographic variation and the Atlantic generally maintains good conditions throughout most of the year.
