Species attached on rocky shores

Towards the north of the state, the municipalities are characterized by numerous beaches and coves with a tropical climate, where rocky shores are more rare. However, they have peculiar characteristics of granitic formation and are considered the oldest rocky shores in the state - of the orthogneiss type - with a geological history of more than two billion years with many shades of gray, pink, yellowish and light brown.
