Itapoa

Built around settlements on Santa Catarina’s northern Atlantic coast, Itapoá grew into a coastal municipality shaped by beaches, lagoons and the waters near Babitonga Bay. It lies close to the border with Paraná, where a long sandy shoreline meets a low-lying coastal plain backed by Atlantic Forest remnants. The Port of Itapoá, opened in 2011, has made the municipality an important point in southern Brazil’s container-shipping network, adding a working maritime dimension to its holiday-resort character. Beaches such as Itapema do Norte and Pontal do Norte are central to local life, especially during the Brazilian summer.
