Rio Grande

Rio Grande, as the name suggests, is a littoral city, which boasts what many call the longest beach in the world — Praia do Cassino. This beach is approximately 250 km (160 mi) of uninterrupted Atlantic coastline. The entire municipality lies at a very low altitude — at its highest point only 10 meters (33 feet) above sea level. Additionally, the city, which is surrounded by water, sinks about one centimeter every year.
