Mangaratiba

Mangaratiba is a municipality located in the Brazilian state of Rio de Janeiro. Its population is 29,272 (2005) and its area is 352 km².[1]

Muddy beaches and the incongruous industrial presence of the Terminal de Sepetiba put off many people stopping at MANGARATIBA , which lies 25km west of Itacuruçá along the BR-101. The town setting is attractive, with a mountain backdrop, a beautiful bay in front with fishing boats at anchor and a late eighteenth-century church dominating the main square. On the whole, however, the initial impression is the correct one; there are better spots to stay further along the coast.
