The historic center features well-preserved 19th-century architecture, including the Igreja de São Mateus and the Casarão dos Ferroviários. The city is a gateway to stunning beaches like Guriri, with its calm waters and coconut palms, and the more secluded Praia de Barra Nova. The Guriri Island area offers excellent seafood restaurants and a lively weekend scene. Nature lovers can explore the mangroves and the Rio São Mateus estuary, perfect for boat trips and birdwatching. The local culture is enriched by the Tupiniquim indigenous heritage and the annual Festa de São Mateus in September, featuring processions, music, and traditional food.
