Marapé Dunes
Dunas de Marapé
Sand dunes and coconut groves at the mouth of the Jequiá River, where you can take a boat ride upriver, wade where river meets sea, and climb the dunes for sea views.
The dunes lie in the municipality of Jequiá da Praia, about 60 km from Maceió. Usually, small boats leave from the site's reception and carry visitors downstream along the Jequiá River to the sandbar where river meets sea: fresh water on one side, sea waves on the other. You can then climb the white dunes to see the coastline. The site has a restaurant and loungers, and charges an entrance or package fee. It suits a southern route together with Praia de Gunga, or a one-day tour departing from Maceió.
