Sanitary sewage is essential for environmental conditions to be protected. However, many Brazilian cities have little access to this service, even as island capitals. Thus, with the objective of knowing the sanitary conditions of the island capitals, a diagnosis of the sanitary sewage of Florianópolis (Santa Catarina), São Luís (Maranhão) and Vitória (Espírito Santo) was prepared, relating it to bathing and public health in those cities. Therefore, it is a descriptive and documentary study with secondary data and a time scale of 23 years. The main research base was the National Health Information System (SNIS) and the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE). Private investments generated divergent rates in the sanitary sewage of the island capitals, being decisive in the bathing of the beaches of Florianópolis, Vitória and São Luís. As for public health, there is a direct relationship between sanitation rates in capital cities and cases of diarrhea and infant mortality. However, confirmed cases of Covid-19 presented other determining agents in the current scenario of the pandemic, in addition to sanitation. Among the three public capitals, São Luís has the lowest health index in terms of sanitary sewage conditions and, therefore, its environmental and sanitary conditions are more deficient.
