Guaraqueçaba is the easternmost municipality in the Brazilian state of Paraná, and one of the few coastal municipalities of the state. The short Ararapira River marks the border with São Paulo.
Guaraqueçaba has historical significance, being among the first Portuguese settlements in the state of Paraná in 1545.
In 1938 the municipality of Guaraqueçaba was abolished and its territory was absorbed into that of Paranaguá. However, in 1947 Guaraqueçaba had it municipal rights restored.
