Praia do Gunga
A coconut-palm sandbar between Roteiro Lagoon and the open sea, with a colorful cliff lookout overlooking the whole bay, one of Alagoas' most photogenic beaches.
The sandbar where Praia do Gunga lies is lined with coconut palms, with the lagoon on one side and the open sea on the other. At low tide, the shallows stretch far into the distance. The Gunga lookout atop the cliff offers a panoramic view of the palms, the lagoon and the bay, and it is the classic photo spot. The overland route crosses a private coconut plantation and usually requires a small entrance fee. You can also come by boat from Barra de São Miguel. On the beach, you can take a buggy to see the colorful cliffs or join a boat tour of the lagoon.
