		<abstract>Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data with distinct operational configurations (frequency, viewing terrain geometry, resolution, etc) has been acquired in the Amazonian Region in the last ten years. As the Amazon coast is subject to rain, cloud, haze and smoke, SAR imageries are a powerful tool to provide coastal geology information due to the enhancement of the terrain caused by the side-view geometry and all-weather sensing capability. In this paper, we discuss the effect of digital image processing and interpretation of SAR images for recognizing coastal features in the wet tropics from the mangrove environment, paleo-alluvial and lacustrine system and mudcapes along the northern Brazilian coast. The application of microwave remote sensing data in the tropics has shown that an effective applicability of the SAR technology only will be expanded with the understanding of radar fundamentals, digital image processing, good field information and the knowledge about the application involved.</abstract>
