Ilha do Mel State Park, State park on coastal island in Paranaguá, Brazil

The protected area spans 337 hectares of Atlantic Forest, featuring beaches, mangroves, and coastal cliffs along the Paraná state shoreline.

The Brazilian government established Ilha do Mel State Park in 2002 to safeguard natural environments and archaeological sites within the island territory.

The Fortress of Nossa Senhora dos Prazeres, built in 1769, represents the only military structure from the 18th century in Paraná state.

Visitors reach the park through boat services departing from Pontal do Sul or Paranaguá, with a maximum daily capacity of 5000 people.

The Lighthouse of Conchas, constructed in 1872 under Emperor Pedro II orders, continues its function of guiding maritime navigation along the Brazilian coast.
