Pontal do Paraná

Located 81 kilometers from Curitiba, Pontal do Paraná extends along the Atlantic coast with a total area of 199 square kilometers at 7 meters elevation.

The region transformed from traditional fishing settlements into an established municipality, now home to over 27,000 residents in the southern state of Paraná.

The Center for Marine Studies at the Federal University of Paraná conducts research activities that contribute to the understanding of local marine ecosystems.

Visitors can explore three protected natural areas: Rio Perequê Municipal Park, Restinga Municipal Park, and Ilhas dos Currais Marine National Park.

The Ilhas dos Currais Marine National Park encompasses three small islands that function as nesting sites for sea birds and feeding grounds for fish species.
