This work aims to understand the geomorphological framework of the terminal portion of the lower course of Paraíba do Norte river- PB, through the classification and cartographic differentiation of the relief units present in the study area. For the present work, a scale of 1: 25,000 was adopted, which allowed identifying the six taxons proposed in Ross's methodology (1992). The study made it possible to know in greater detail the geometry and relief patterns in the region, where stood out accumulation and denudation areas, among them: fluvial, marine and fluvial-marine plains, terrace shapes and slopes, cliffs, beaches, sandy bars, sandbanks, beach paleolines, reefs, anthropogenic lagoons, lagoons, sink holes, and sedimentation glacis, besides tabular and convex relief forms that shape the coastal boards of the Paraíba coast.
