Mulheres de areia ({{IPA|pt|muˈʎɛɾiʒ dʒaˈɾejɐ}}, "Sand Women") is a Brazilian telenovela produced by the TV Globo and aired between 1 February 1993 and 24 September 1993, in 203 episodes. It was written by Ivani Ribeiro with the contribution of Solange Castro Neves and directed by Wolf Maya, Ignácio Coqueiro, Andre Schultz and Carlos Magalhães. It is a remake of the soap opera of the same name that aired on the now-defunct Rede Tupi from 1973 to 1974, when Eva Wilma portrayed the two main characters of the plot (the twins Ruth and Raquel), which in turn is based on the radio soap opera The Brides Die at Sea of 1965. In 2023, it received a special re-airing in honor of its 30th anniversary.{{Cite web |title='Mulheres de Areia' ganha edição especial na tela da Globo |url=https://www.agazeta.com.br/hz/tv-e-famosos/mulheres-de-areia-ganha-edicao-especial-na-tela-da-globo-0623 |access-date=2023-07-06 |website=www.agazeta.com.br |language=pt-br}}

Plot

Young Marcos Assunção goes to the fictional city of Pontal D' Areia to assist in the businesses of the Assunção family. The young man meets Ruth, daughter of a poor fisherman, and falls in love with her, but he ends up involved with Raquel, the twin sister of Ruth. The sisters are identical, but of opposite personalities. While Ruth truly loves the young man, Raquel desires his position and riches. She also has a lover, Wanderley.

Tonho da Lua, best friend of Ruth, is mentally disturbed and famous for creating sculptures of women with the sand of the beach. Raquel must also face Virgílio Assunção, Marcos's father, who doesn't accept her relationship with his son. Virgílo, an unscrupulous man, is the vice-mayor and owner of the biggest hotel in the city. His goal is to turn Pontal D' Areia into a tourist center, but he must deal with the mayor of the city, the Green politician Breno. The population of the city is divided. Breno has one ally, Tônia, a local trader. To demoralize Breno, Virgílio puts scarecrows in the beaches, symbolizing the mayor who scares the tourists.

Meanwhile, Ruth suffers in silence with the wedding of Marcos and Raquel. The plot has a twist when Raquel is believed dead in an accident at sea and Ruth assumes her identity to be with the man she loves. But Raquel did not die and she returns to claim her own life.
