Praia de Japaratinga
A peaceful beach town about 15 km south of Maragogi, with coconut groves, shallow reef pools and mangrove river mouths that define the classic Coast of Wonders scenery.
Japaratinga is a small town south of Maragogi with a long, gentle beach. At low tide, reef pools and sandbars appear near shore, and boats take visitors to snorkel at offshore coral reefs. The town is quieter than Maragogi and has many boutique guesthouses. It is a stopover on the way south to São Miguel dos Milagres. Minibuses bound for Porto Calvo leave from Maragogi and take about 20 minutes. Maceió–Maragogi Airport is also nearby.
