Cidreira

Cidreira extends over 243 square kilometers along the northern coast of Rio Grande do Sul state, with an elevation of 28 meters above sea level.

The territory, initially inhabited by indigenous populations, became an independent municipality in 1988 after separating from Santo Antonio da Patrulha, Osorio, and Tramandai.

The municipality celebrates the Iemanja Festival in February with processions and performances honoring the sea goddess according to Brazilian coastal traditions.

The population of 17,071 residents receives municipal services through five official neighborhoods: Salinas, Nazare, Centro, Ildo Meneghetti, and Costa do Sol.

Three lagoons and extensive wetlands within the municipal boundaries create favorable conditions for fishing activities throughout the year.
