Things to see and do Porto De Pedras

The name of this river and of the small village of the same name comes from an Amerindian word meaning "little armadillo". With a little luck, the excursion on the Rio Tatuamunha will allow you to observe the beautiful peixes-bois (manatees), famous in the region. The excursion to Tatuamunha is one of the most beautiful in the region, as it takes you to the edge of the Atlantic Ocean. It offers you a beautiful view of the Coral Coast and its vegetation of coconut and mango trees. The mouth of the river, called "boca do rio" offers a delightful spectacle.

It's a nice tour of historical places and beautiful coconut beaches in the middle of the greenery. The most popular excursion is the one that takes you to the other side of the river, towards Japaratinga. You can also go there to see the sunset on the Manguaba river. You can start this beautiful walk at the beach of Bitingui and walk about 1h30 passing by the beaches of Barreiras do Boqueirão (where there are several restaurants on the seaside), Boqueirão (more deserted) and Pontal, finally, where the beach meets the river Manguaba.

This large building seems to observe the coast of Alagoas. Built in the 20th century, and located on the Nossa Senhora da Piedade hill in the town of Porto de Pedras, this lighthouse offers a beautiful view of the Coral Coast, especially at sunset. The structure of the Porto de Pedras lighthouse is a truncated reinforced concrete tower, with white and black horizontal stripes, 90 meters high and 36 meters in focal height. It was inaugurated in 1933. It was the first lighthouse to operate with an acetylene gas system. It was electrified in 1973.
