Alagoas

A small northeastern Brazilian state famed for emerald-green waters, coral-reef natural pools and coconut-palm-lined beaches; a popular seaside getaway.

Alagoas lies on Brazil's northeastern Atlantic coast, small in area but with a beautiful coastline. The capital, Maceió, has city beaches, and at low tide you can take a jangada raft out to natural pools formed by offshore coral reefs. In the north, the beaches around Maragogi and São Miguel dos Milagres are tranquil, while in the south, Gunga Beach and the mouth of the São Francisco River offer distinctive scenery. September to March is drier and sunny, the peak beach season; April to July is rainier. Maceió International Airport is the main gateway, with direct flights to Brazil's major cities.
