Cabedelo is a municipality of the Metropolitan Region of João Pessoa, in the state of Paraíba in the Northeast Region of Brazil. It has an area of 29,873 square kilometers1, with singular measures: 18 kilometers long and only three kilometers wide. Its population in 2020 was estimated by the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE) at 68,767 inhabitants1. On 17th century Dutch maps, it appeared as an island because of the Jaguaribe and Mandacaru rivers. Its geophysical age also differs from neighbouring municipalities that tend to have older sedimentary plateaus and therefore divergent average altitude and climate. Currently, it is troubled by the capital of Paraíba, João Pessoa, and serves as an extension of certain tertiary activities of the headquarters, such as tourism but also private higher education, etc. CBTU urban trains and Estrada de Cabedelo (BR-230) are the main connections between the two cities.
