Things to do in Maragogi
- Galés de Maragogi 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.
- Praia de Antunes 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.
- Praia de Ponta de Mangue 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.
- Barra Grande e o Caminho de Moisés 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.
- Praia de Peroba 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.
When to go
From September to March there is more sun and the sea is usually clearer. The rains are concentrated roughly from April to July. Tours depend on low tide, which is lowest around the full and new moons. The Festa de São Bento is in March, and the town's anniversary is at the end of April.
How many days to stay
Three days: one for the galés (offshore reef pools), one for the northern beaches, such as Barra Grande and Antunes, and a spare one to match the tide. Many people use Maragogi as a base for the whole Costa dos Corais and stay a week.
