The local experience
Natural pools formed over the reefs about 6 km off the coast, reached by catamaran at low tide. The water is shallow, clear and full of fish used to people.
About 8 km from the center, it has few buildings, coconut palms and a very clear blue sea. At low tide, you can walk to the natural pools formed by the reefs.
About 10 km from the center, it keeps the atmosphere of a fishing village and a sea in shades of emerald green and blue. At low tide, you can walk out to sandbanks and coral areas.
Discover Praia de Ponta de Mangue
As the tide goes out, a strip of sand appears that seems to split the sea in half, nicknamed the Caminho de Moisés (Moses' Path). You can walk along it to the pools.
Discover Barra Grande e o Caminho de Moisés
The last beach in Alagoas before the border with Pernambuco, about 13 km from the center. It is one of the quietest and emptiest stretches of the town's coast, with few facilities along the shore.
