| Sumario: | Nowadays in Brazil, beaches are important bathing, touristic and economic areas, especially in the northeast. This scenario rises from maritime practices imported and incorporated first by the wealthier classes in the southeast of the country, mainly from the influence of the Portuguese Royal Family, becoming popular among popular social groups over the course of the 20th century. In this context, Ceará has become an important agent with its 573 kilometers of coastline, with important national and international recognition due to its physical attributes, which are important elements for building a landscape with tourist and cultural attributes. The regressive-progressive methodology is used to analyze the important scenarios and eventualities that led to the development of a new view of coastal spaces in Brazil and, consequently, in Ceará. |
