Ilha Comprida (Portuguese for "long island") is a municipality in the state of São Paulo in Brazil. Stretching southwest along the Atlantic coast of the state, it is coextensive with the barrier island of Ilha Comprida, the longest of its kind in the state (74 kilometres (46 mi)). The municipality was founded in 1993 after the merger of the part of Ilha Comprida that belonged to the city of Cananéia with the section of the island that was administered by the city of Iguape.[1] It has an average annual temperature of 24°C. The population is 10,291 (2015 est.) in an area of 192.1 km².[2]
