Best Beaches

Maceió's coastline is defined by an extensive coral reef system that creates shallow natural pools along the shore. This selection includes urban stretches like Pajuçara and Ponta Verde, known for their accessible reefs and traditional jangada boat trips, alongside more secluded northern spots like Ipioca and Garça Torta. These destinations feature landmarks such as the mermaid statue at Praia da Sereia and the iconic Ponta Verde lighthouse, set against turquoise waters and coconut groves.
