Praia do Cassino (Portuguese for Casino Beach) is the southernmost beach of the Brazilian coast (Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found.), on the South Atlantic Ocean, in the state of Rio Grande do Sul. It is thought to be the longest uninterrupted sandy seashore in the world, with various sources measuring it from 212 kilometres (132 mi)[1] to 254 kilometres (158 mi),[2][3] stretching from the Molhes (breakwaters) at the entrance of the Rio Grande seaport to the mouth of the Chuí Stream, on the border with Uruguay.

In 1966, 27 sounding rockets were launched from Praia do Cassino.[4]
