The sandy beaches of the Brazilian Amazon coast have enormous touristic potential and attract thousands of visitors each year, principally in July, at the beginning of the summer vacation period. In 2020, beach going was affected worldwide by the Covid-19 pandemic, but how did the pandemic affect recreational beach use on the Amazon coast in the Brazilian state of Pará? Given this, the objective of this work is to identify public perception in compliance with health safety established by authorities due to COVID-19 pandemic in two popular beaches on the Brazilian Amazon. Recreational patterns on the beaches of this region were analyzed from the user's perspective in July, through semi-structured interviews and direct observations. Recreational activities were prohibited on the beaches located within protected areas. At other locations, however, including Ajuruteua and Atalaia, the beaches were reopened on July 1 st, and both sites received thousands of visitors in July, despite the fact that interviewees believed the pandemic to be dangerous, and considered the situation in Pará state to be at least as bad or worse than in previous months. Agglomerations were verified on both study beaches and social distancing and other protective measures were limited. The increase in the new cases recorded in August was due to the relaxation of restrictions on social, recreational, and economic activities by the local authorities in July 2020, including the reopening of public access to beaches. As Pará state has been hard-hit by the pandemic, prohibitions on recreational beach use should clearly not have been lifted during this period. A number of management measures were presented in this study. These measures should contribute to the prevention of the spread of the virus during the upcoming public holidays, as long as the pandemic continues.

巴西亚马逊海岸的沙滩具有巨大的旅游潜力，每年吸引成千上万的游客，主要是在暑假开始的 7 月。2020 年，Covid-19 大流行在全球范围内影响了海滩运动，但大流行如何影响巴西帕拉州亚马逊海岸的休闲海滩使用？鉴于此，这项工作的目的是确定公众对巴西亚马逊两个热门海滩因 COVID-19 大流行而建立的健康安全的看法。7 月，通过半结构化访谈和直接观察，从用户的角度分析了该地区海滩的休闲模式。位于保护区内的海滩禁止进行娱乐活动。然而，在其他地方，包括 Ajuruteua 和 Atalaia，海滩于 7 月 1 日重新开放，这两个地点在 7 月接待了数千名游客，尽管受访者认为大流行病很危险，并认为帕拉州的情况至少与 Pará 州一样糟糕或比前几个月更糟。在研究海滩和社会疏远和其他保护措施上都验证了聚集。8 月份记录的新病例增加是由于地方当局在 2020 年 7 月放宽了对社交、娱乐和经济活动的限制，包括重新开放公众前往海滩的通道。由于帕拉州受到大流行的严重打击，在此期间显然不应该取消对休闲海滩使用的禁令。本研究提出了一些管理措施。
