Abstract
The Cananeia-Iguape and Comprida Island coastal plain, in the Sao Paulo State, Brazil, mostly the Comprida Island municipality was transformed into an important bathing-place tourism pole, in the last decades. Presently, the Comprida Island town fixed population, that still does not attain 10 thousand inhabitants, is more than tenfold increased during school vocations and extended holidays so frequent in Brazil. These tourists, whose major interest is related toward the bathing tourism, have promoted frequent incursions to other touristic attractions, like that characterized here, that are the mangrove swamps, shell-middens and eolian dunes. These visits are done without any control, by free initiative and without monitoring, which cause possible degradation of these touristic attractives, as well as to the surrounding natural environments. This paper establishes their the probable ecotouristic and/ or geotouristic potentialities of these attractions, as new alternatives of touristic attractions, much more preoccupied with the geoenvironmental conservation or preservation of a more sustainable nature, were characterized. Key-words: Coastal Plain; Mangrove Swamp; Shell-Midden; Eolian Dune; Ecotourism and Geotourism.
