With Population Growth Above The National Average, Itapoá Combines Quality Of Life, Modern Infrastructure, And Natural Beauties That Attract Tourists And Residents

The municipality of Itapoá, in Northern Santa Catarina, is experiencing a phenomenon that draws attention throughout the state. The city saw its population double in just over ten years, primarily driven by the arrival of new residents from outside.

According to a report from the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE), Itapoá registered a population growth of 4.3%, ranking fourth in the national ranking.

The leap was significant: from 14.7 thousand inhabitants in 2010 to 34.5 thousand currently.

Infrastructure And Quality Of Life Drive Growth

Development is not limited to the increase in residents. Important works, such as the paving of the Garuva ring road, helped consolidate the region as a hub of attraction.

The combination of jobs and urban improvements explains the growing interest in settling in the city.

Therefore, urban expansion is likely to continue at a fast pace. This is because the infrastructure complements the natural beauties, which strengthen tourism and reinforce the image of a place that combines work and leisure.

Revenue also reflects this movement. In 2023, the municipality collected R$ 11.7 million through ITBI (Tax on the Transfer of Real Estate), a direct result of increased property values and transactions.

Tourism And Nature In The Spotlight

Although the port is a key piece in the economy, Itapoá offers other attractions that sustain its regional relevance.

Tourism stands out as the main economic activity, supported by fishing, livestock, and agriculture.

The humid tropical climate ensures regular rainfall throughout the year, which helps maintain always-green landscapes.

Additionally, beaches and rivers complement the experience for those visiting or deciding to live in the city.

Itineraries For Visitors

Among the most sought-after outings are Itapema do Norte Beach and Pontal da Figueira Beach. The Pontal Beach Lighthouse and the Volta Velha Reserve also offer options for direct contact with nature.

Other highlights include Barra do Saí Beach, Cachoeira Casarão, and Babitonga Bay, points that reinforce the region’s tourist character and consolidate Itapoá as an expanding destination.
