At one of the most popular beaches on the Rio Grande do Sul coastline, accumulated sand has become a pressing issue for both residents and visitors. Many access walkways leading to the beach in Tramandaí are covered with sand, leaving wooden structures almost completely buried. This situation primarily affects the elderly, individuals with mobility issues, and those pushing baby strollers, making it difficult for them to access the beach safely.

The affected walkways run from Avenida Beira-Mar to the beach and are essential pathways for beachgoers. A local news report from RBS TV investigated a stretch of four kilometers along the Tramandaí seaside and uncovered the same sand accumulation problem on multiple access points in this heavily trafficked area. As a consequence, access to the beach for pedestrians has become increasingly arduous, especially for those carrying beach chairs, umbrellas, and coolers.

In the busiest part of Tramandaí, at the intersection of Avenida Beira-Mar with Avenida da Igreja, the situation was notably better. Here, the walkways remained clear, providing a much-needed relief for visitors in this popular zone. Overall, the build-up of sand has raised concerns about accessibility and safety at this beachfront location, prompting calls for potential solutions to aid the mobility-challenged populations looking to enjoy the coast.
