praia da brisa (beach of the breeze), is a 1700-meter artificial beach designed and built to be both an area for public events, and a reserve for the many mangroves that grow there. 

praia da brisa is also referred to as praia do aterro, or beach of the landfill.

mangroves are a type of tree and shrub typical of saline muddy habitats of costal areas in the tropics and subtropics.
