PRAIA PATAXO
Read moreThe Praia Pataxo is without doubt one of the most beautiful in the country. Clear sand, translucent waters and coconut trees as far as the eye can see make up the decor. For the moment, the place is spared by mass tourism. There are no groups coming from Maceió to spend the day there, the beach is rather quiet and not very populated. During low tides, natural pools are formed and the swimming is irresistible. If you stay there during the day, bring something to eat and drink (restaurants only in the pousadas Xue and Patacho).
NATURAL POOLS
Read moreThe natural pools are one of the major tourist attractions of the Alagoas coastal fringe. Natural pools 1 km from the coast are formed at low tide. They can be reached by jangada, a kind of boat, here with motor, in 15 minutes. The waters are translucent and the place is not invaded by tourists. It really feels like diving into waters forgotten by civilization. Take a mask and a snorkel to dive near the reefs. The best ones are in Praia do Toque and São Miguel.
