Antonina is a municipality in the state of Paraná in southern Brazil. As of 2020, the estimated population was 18,949.
The small town Antonina was former known as “Capela” – as a chapel has been built there in the 18th century. Due to this fact the inhabitants are called “capelistas” until today. The official name is in honor to King Antonio of Portugal.
Ponta da Pita: Named after a plant existing on the coast, used by fishermen to make buoys for their fishing nets, Ponta da Pita is a rock formation that advances into Antonina's bay.

The "Ponta da Pita" in Antonina is 5km far from the bus station, a walk of one hour.
It's one of my favorite places to take some pics. There are some rocks nearby the coast and always small fishermen boats are crossing there.
