Cars get stuck on the beaches of Salinas this weekend, in Pará The summer vacation in Salinópolis, a city known as "Salinas", in the northeast of Pará, recorded another episode that has become recurrent at this time of year: cars stuck in the sand due to the rapid rise of the tide. Over the weekend, several drivers who decided to risk keeping their vehicles on the beach were surprised by the force of the water and had to rely on the help of volunteers to avoid further damage. Images recorded by bathers (see the video above) show the mobilization of dozens of people to remove the cars before they were swept away by the sea. ?

With the help of a steel cable and the physical strength of several volunteers, the group tries to prevent the force of the tide from pulling the utility vehicle to the bottom. At another point on the beach, the scene was repeated with a luxury car. The driver also had to rely on the solidarity of a group of people passing by to be able to push the vehicle to a safe area before the water invaded the engine. While some bathers enjoyed the party atmosphere on the beach, others were divided into collective efforts in an attempt to free the various cars that were stuck on the strip of sand. Frequently ignored warning The practice of driving and parking vehicles on the sand is cultural on the beaches of Salinas, especially Praia do Atalaia, one of the busiest in the municipality. However, the phenomenon of high tide, which is characteristic of the region, where the water rises very quickly at certain times, constantly claims new "victims". Despite educational campaigns by public security bodies and constant warnings from authorities about the tide table, oversights persist. Tide table For those who are in the region and want to avoid new incidents, monitoring peak tide times is essential. The tide table forecast for Salinópolis indicates that high tide occurs at the following times: Morning: at 7:10 am, reaching a maximum height of 5.05 meters; Night: at 8:01 pm, reaching a maximum height of 4.89 meters. Security authorities reinforce the recommendation that drivers remove their vehicles from the sand strip well before peak hours and never park in areas close to the water rising channel.
