Piękne plaże w Alagoas

Stunning Beaches

Alagoas features a diverse coastline defined by the Costa dos Corais, the world's second-largest coral reef system. This list highlights beaches characterized by natural tide pools, extensive coconut groves, and dramatic sandstone cliffs. Key locations include Maragogi, known for its offshore reef formations, and Maceió's urban shores like Pajuçara and Ponta Verde, where reefs create calm swimming conditions. The region's geography ranges from the secluded, undeveloped stretches of Patacho to the lagoon-adjacent sands of Gunga.
