Paripueira
A seaside town at the southern tip of the Coral Coast Environmental Protection Area, where reefs enclose large natural pools of calm water at low tide.
Paripueira lies about 30 km from Maceió and marks the southern end of the Coral Coast federal environmental protection area. Many reefs in the bay leave a large natural pool of shallow, calm water at low tide. Small boats can take you to the reef area for snorkelling, and it is less crowded than Pajuçara. Beach bars in town sell seafood and coconut water, and local families fill the beach at weekends. As with any trip here, check the tide tables before setting out.
