Mostardas

Mostardas extends across flat terrain between Laguna dos Patos and the Atlantic Ocean, covering an area of 1,982 square kilometers at 17 meters elevation.

The region began as a military outpost named Guarda das Mustardas in 1738, later developing into a parish in 1773 before achieving municipal status in 1963.

Local inhabitants maintain agricultural traditions through rice cultivation and cattle farming, while participating in regular community gatherings and seasonal celebrations.

Four coastal beaches provide recreational spaces throughout the year, with Solitude Beach and Balneario Mostardense located within 12 kilometers of the town center.

The municipality contains distinct geographical features where the land forms a natural isthmus between South America's largest lagoon and the Atlantic Ocean.
