Parque Natural Municipal da Restinga do Barreto
About the protected area
- Total Area:317 km²
The Parque Natural Municipal da Restinga do Barreto covers 32 hectares. This coastal ecosystem is characterized by sandy terrain, formed by river sediments and marine deposits over thousands of years, under the strong influence of wind, salt, sun and changing tides. This vegetation, which helps preserve the dunes, is essential for holding back the advance of the sea and preserving the local fauna.
