Itaúnas State Park, State park in Conceição da Barra, Brazil.
Itaúnas State Park is a protected area combining Atlantic Forest vegetation with coastal marine zones across its territory. Sand dunes line the extended beaches throughout the park.
The protected area was established in 1991 to safeguard the Atlantic Forest and archaeological sites in the region. This creation responded to the need to preserve both natural habitats and cultural evidence of past settlements.
The region keeps forró music traditions alive as part of local celebrations and community gatherings in nearby villages. This folk music style shapes how people here mark important moments and holidays throughout the year.
Visitors can explore the grounds daily and should bring comfortable walking shoes and sun protection, as trails across sand and through forest areas require good footwear. Carrying water and snacks helps stay comfortable during your visit.
The protected area hosts a variety of wildlife species found nowhere else nearby, including birds adapted to coastal and forest settings. Sea turtles also come to the beaches to nest, making the area a critical breeding ground for these marine reptiles.
