Ponta Verde Beach
Praia de Ponta Verde
Maceió's most iconic beach, where coconut palms, emerald water and a small lighthouse on the reef form the city's postcard view.
The beach lies east of Pajuçara. A small white lighthouse stands on the reef just offshore, and at low tide you can walk out along the rocks, where many small pools hold tiny fish. Rows of coconut palms line the sand, and high-rise hotels, restaurants and bars line the seafront, making the evenings lively. It is where most visitors choose to stay. The sea is calm most of the time, which suits swimming and stand-up paddleboarding.
