Its beach is among the 10 largest in the world, disregarding the municipal boundaries, with a sandy extension of 242 km. With a subtropical climate of hot summers, the region attracts tourists from nearby towns, significantly increasing the population during the summer period, pressing the environment and the demands of urban services. Vehicle traffic on the beach is a cultural feature of this beach resort, occurring at least since the 1920s. This traffic has increased significantly in recent decades, bringing risks to the coastal environment and users, causing frequent problems such as traffic accidents and traffic jams. This research aims to diagnose and formulate recommendations for vehicle traffic in this beach, based on the social perception of it users, the evaluation of their carrying capacity and the analysis of the beach occupancy pattern. The analysis of social perception showed that beach users want a better organization of the traffic, and are aware that this activity can bring damages to nature and people. In the evaluation of the carrying capacity eight scenarios were tested, and the ideal one has a carrying capacity of 3,631 vehicles parked in an organized way. Through the analysis of the urban occupation, the most heavily used sectors were identified. With the results it was possible to formulate recommendations for the traffic management of vehicles in this beach, and it was evidenced the need of a planning of the activities that occur there, where the totality of the environment and its interrelationships are considered, as well as the needs of the users. %K Coastal management %K beach management %K environmental planning %K carrying capacity %K environmental impact %K Gestão costeira %K gestão de praias %K planejamento ambiental %K capacidade de suporte %K impacto ambiental %~ Universidad de Cádiz
