Pajuçara Beach
Praia de Pajuçara
Maceió's busiest city beach, where reefs break the waves and the water stays calm, with a craft market and seafront promenade along the shore.
The beach curves in an arc, and coral reef protects its nearshore waters, so the waves are small and the water shallow, ideal for swimming. The wooden sailing rafts, known as jangadas, that carry visitors to the natural pools also depart from here. The seafront promenade has walking and cycling lanes, and many locals jog and stroll there in the evening. The Pajuçara craft market beside the road is open daily, where you can buy Alagoas specialties such as filé embroidery, straw crafts and cashew products. Stalls on the beach sell coconut water and fried cassava.
