Things to do in Praia do Gunga

Upon arriving at Praia do Gunga, the immense coconut grove already draws attention. It is worth passing by Mirante do Gunga to admire the view before reaching the shore. The landscape is paradisiacal, with a turquoise sea in front of the coconut trees, separated by an extensive strip of fine white sand.

The beach sea is a spectacle in itself, with beautiful colors and crystal clear appearance. When the tide is low, the waters are calm and form a kind of natural pool. It is even possible to see little fish swimming there, and the snorkel can be very useful to observe them. Later, the tide comes in and the sea gets a little rougher.

You can also take advantage of other highly recommended tours at Praia do Gunga, such as the buggy or quadricycle that passes through the cliffs that exist nearby, or even opt for a boat ride through the incredible sea of the surroundings. If you're in the mood for it, fly boats and bananas also keep visitors entertained.

It is worth mentioning that on the beach there is good infrastructure with kiosks for those who will spend the whole day there. However, as is common in some parts of this region of Alagoas, there are a lot of street vendors selling various goods, and they are usually insistent. In addition, the beach is quite popular, so it is not so ideal for those who want to relax.

Where to stay in Praia do Gunga

A good place to stay when visiting Praia do Gunga is the hotels and inns in Barra de São Miguel. So you are well located, close to some of the most incredible beaches on the south coast of Alagoas, such as Frances Beach and Gunga herself.

A good hosting tip is the Gungaporanga Hotel, an accommodation very close to this amazing beach, which is in a super privileged location, on the cliffs. The view from there to the sea is impressive and guarantees the beauty of the space, even more so if you decide to enjoy the landscape from the hotel's swimming pool.

Another option is to choose accommodation in the state capital itself. Maceió it is a few kilometers from the beach, but for a more peaceful trip, the ideal is to look for a closer stay.
