Camocim, Coastal municipality in Ceará, Brazil
The municipality extends across 1,124 square kilometers of territory along the northeastern Brazilian coast, featuring mangroves, dunes, and beaches.
Portuguese settlers arrived in the second half of the 16th century, establishing a base to control the coastline and engage in military conflicts with French forces.
The name Camocim originates from Tupi-Guarani indigenous language, reflecting the deep connection between the territory and its first inhabitants, the Tremembé people.
The municipal airport serves as a transportation center, while ferries across the Coreaú River connect visitors to Ilha da Testa Branca island.
Salt extraction from the sea remains an essential economic activity in Camocim, along with fishing, cashew cultivation, and cassava production.
