The Terminal Turístico de Balneário Ipiranga is the beach of São Miguel do Iguaçu, in western Paraná. It sits on the shores of Lago de Itaipu, in the Ipiranga district, and draws locals and visitors from Paraguay, especially in summer.
The waterfront has an artificial beach of about 600 meters and a natural pool enclosed by buoys, where swimming is more protected. Small waterfalls next to the swimming area are among the children's favorite attractions.
