Quintão beach holds a special place in my heart... Countless fond memories from years of summer vacations with my family... I frequently revisit to indulge in nostalgia and reminisce about the wonderful moments shared with loved ones, all experienced simultaneously. Throughout the years of visiting this destination...

It is making progress in various areas, however, there is a neglect towards the roads, the craters, which has been an ongoing issue, particularly on Rua da Lagoa, Borba Gato, a bustling thoroughfare with vehicles and watercrafts zooming by. I believe it is essential to address the deficiencies on these roads.

There is a shortage of pavement on the bumpy roads, with rain causing flooding, although there have been some improvements. The local government only collects property taxes but there is no visible investment. The absence of bank branches, cyber cafes, and ATMs is noticeable. Kudos for the efficient daily garbage collection.
