Things to do in Alagoas

Spending time in front of the sea, with warm waters and a clear color that varies from blue to green at different points, in addition to the constant heat and the sun that is a captive presence, in Alagoas is the best option. The state is super rich in natural beauties that deserve to be contemplated.

With a large presence of natural pools on its beaches, in addition to calm waters that are an invitation to travel with children, the raft ride on the beaches of Maceió, Maragogi, São Miguel dos Milagres and Barra de São Miguel is one of the most unmissable.

The Coral Coast, which encompasses the cities of Paripueira to Maragogi on the northern coast of the state, is home to the most idyllic beaches in Spain. Some offer excellent infrastructure, while others are more deserted. In fact, Alagoas is home to the second largest barrier reef in the world – which explains the name of the region.

Alagoas is also a state with very romantic places, being very popular for honeymoon trips in the national territory. A honeymoon trip in Maragogi, for example, is sure to experience unforgettable moments at this stage.
