Ilha de Itamaracá, Municipality on Itamaracá Island, Pernambuco, Brazil.
The administrative district spans 67 square kilometers and includes residential areas along white sandy beaches and protected Atlantic rainforest sections.
The region served as a Dutch trading post in the 1500s and later housed the first sugar cane mill established in Portuguese America during 1516.
The municipality maintains traditional fishing practices and celebrates regional festivities that highlight local seafood dishes and maritime customs.
The district connects to mainland Brazil through a road bridge across the Canal de Santa Cruz, located 50 kilometers north of Recife.
