Linhares is a Brazilian municipality on the north coast of the state of Espírito Santo, in the Southeast Region of the country. It is located north of the state capital, about 130 km away. It covers an area of approximately 3,500 km², of which 37 km² are urban area. Its population was estimated at 183,797 inhabitants in 2025, making it the sixth most populous municipality in the state and the second most populated outside the Greater Vitória Metropolitan Region. The city is situated on the bank of the Doce River, upstream from the mouth of the river where it meets the Atlantic Ocean, where the village of Regência is located.
The city was founded in 1800, when a military barracks was installed in order to hinder the smuggling of gold along the Doce River. It went through a period of economic stagnation that began at the end of the 19th century, but it grew considerably from the 1940s onward, with the rise of cacao cultivation and the construction of the BR-101 highway. These facts favored the development of varied economic activities, with emphasis on agriculture, livestock farming and industry. With a coastline of about 100 km, more than 70 lagoons and preservation areas open to visitors, Linhares is also an important tourist destination.
