I felt sorry of the ocean, full of chairs, umbrella, tables on the beach and food stalls, so commercial. and many rubbish, cigarettes 🚬, plastic stuff, and the water has floating oil and ting rubbish that's really disgusting. I understand why the beach provide shower for tourists because the water is polluted. I think this beach is over rated.

At low tide you can access the coral pools from the beach for snorkeling. Choice of being in a quieter or busier part of the beach. Laid back brazilian crowd so no need to dress up in town or obmn the beach.

Don’t use the guide tour, they are scammers! Old town feels like being abandoned with lots of homeless. Don’t feel very secure to walk around. Don’t use any guide tour! They said one hour walk tour, 50 BRL per person. During the tour, there was very little introduction and walking very fast to rush us, took us to shops so they get commission fee, but we actually don’t buy anything. And after finish, they asked 50% more, and insisted cash!!! We don’t want to risk our security since they are a bunch of guides around us and push us to pay! They are the scammers!

Per se it's just a little spot on the floor, but the area around is very nice. You'll find a few nice bars and unexpensive restaurants around, with some local experiences to know the carnival culture better. Nothing special but worth taking a look.

Specialty Museums
Instituto Ricardo Brennand is a cultural institution located in Recife, Pernambuco, Brazil. It was established in 2002 by Ricardo de Almeida Coimbra Brennand and is housed within the medieval-style Forte de Sao Joao Batista do Brum. The institute features a military and weaponry museum, an art gallery, extensive parkland with outdoor sculptures, gardens, and a well-stocked library.
Very beautiful museum. So much to see and do. Really enjoyed being there. Went with my family.
JP S — Google review
Have to admit, I was a little underwhelmed by certain parts of Recife, abandoned buildings and evident economic struggle; but not this place, apparently a lot of the money of the town went to whoever built this place. I was legit amazed by the collection of global art and artifacts that Mr. Brennand had accumulated. Huuge tapestries, ivory carved dioramas from asia, bottero sculptures, local art, and enough medieval suits of armor and weapons to hold off a small invading army; all housed in immaculately manicured gardens and enormous brick chapels and halls. If you have it, I appreciate the desire to let everyone else enjoy it also.
Kiantar B — Google review
Simply incredible. Looks like a very European art museum in the middle of North East Brazil, and even though most of the artworks are replicas, it's surely worth visiting. Many expositions are hosted and the permanent collection is very beautiful. Fair price, no wait and absolutely the best art experience in Recife.
ALESSANDRO C — Google review
This is one of my favorite places to visit in Recife. The Brennand collection of weapons is fantastic and they certainly have a vast collection of art. My favorite time to go is during the week when it rains a little because there aren't as many people around so you can have a lot of time to yourself. Great architecture as well. This place is worth your time for sure.
Nephi B — Google review
The architecture is stunning but the gallery displays a lot of replicas and some originals. Most pieces don't have information on who made them or where, nor any historical context. The arms collection os really interesting but could also use some more information. Also, the ticket priced at R$50 makes it more expensive than most Brazilians can afford.
Stella ( — Google review
One of the best and most unique museums in the northeast of Brazil, if not all Brazil. A must-visit if you’re in the northeast! The Dutch tapestries and the history of the Dutch in Brazil is fascinating, as is a vast building filled with thousands of weapons from the last hundred years. Add in the stunning gardens filled with capybara and monkeys strolling around and playing and this truly is a memorable place to spend a few hours. Cafe and restaurant on site too. Entrance is $50 BRL.
Jacob C — Google review

Beautiful! Great beach, and location. Was urged not to swim, as there are sharks(story behind this) so really only went in water at low tide when the reef keeps a pool you can swim in
Todd B — Google review
Nice beach ⛱️🏖️ However, there is only water, sand, big buildings and some palm trees. Nothing special if you like really nice views. But if you like sun, sand and warm water, that's a good place to be.
Diego H — Google review
The high tale is around noon, so the best time to take advantage of the natural pools that are shark safe is the early morning. Once you are in pleamar, huge sections of the beach disappear under the water, but you will still have plenty of areas with a wide strip of sand. If you consume anything, you so not have to pay for the umbrellas and the chairs.

Boa Viagem is an urban beach located in Recife. Unfortunately known for accidents with Sharks, it is a very good beach to spend the day, on the beach out of the water. If you go, go early, as the sun sets early on the beach due to the large buildings that hide the sun from 3 pm onwards.

For me, this place is full of scammers because I'm probably disappointed with how Maragozi was, everyone was coming back. It's probably everywhere. They try to rip you off, starting from the parking lot. Someone calls you "park" and goes there. Turn this way, the wrong way. Take a boat at the end. Take a raft or a kayak. Swim 6 meters and tell them to dive to see the fish. Then they take you back. For me, this isn't an attraction that can be considered paid. You could just as easily grab a mask and go somewhere quiet. It's completely overrated and just a scam. I think there are more people, sunscreen, and everything else in the water than fish. So, it's just a guy with trained fish feeding them and saying he can take a photo, for an additional fee, of course. So, absolutely not. I don't recommend such places. I've been here at least in the main port and in Maragozi.

(Translated by Google) A natural spectacle: crystal-clear waters formed between coral reefs, ideal for floating and observing colorful fish — a raft trip or a walk during low tide makes it all the more special. Plan for low tide, bring a snorkel or water shoes, and enjoy one of the most iconic sights on the Pernambuco coast. (Original) Um espetáculo natural: águas cristalinas formadas entre recifes de coral, ideais para flutuar e observar peixes coloridos — o passeio de jangada ou a caminhada durante a maré baixa tornam tudo ainda mais especial. Planeje para a maré baixa, leve snorkel ou sapatilhas aquáticas e aproveite um dos maiores cartões-postais do litoral pernambucano.

Excellent beach. Clear and calm waters. You can walk to the corals when the tide is low (5km aprox) There are small bars that rent a table with beach umbrella and chairs as long as you need only by consuming a 'petisco' (which is a kind of fast food). There are also 'beach vendors' that provides ice creams, 'cocadas' (kind of sweet cookie made from coconut and condensed milk, excellent), coconut water... etc. You'll also find kids selling their art, or at least expecting you to see how they create their art, they are awesome.

Papipupenta — Google review
Super crowded (over 10 boats to a pool) with very low visibility. The place is an absolute money grab, the companies simply want to sell you snorkling, photos, drinks, everything you can imagine once you are in the water with them... besides that there service is just unfriendly. Do not recommend it as it is a waste of money that is causing more harm than good to the environment. It might have been good in the past but now is simply a circus of boats and prople selling you stuff in the water. '

Without a doubt a must visit situation. The natural pools are amazing. Take care that you ask for the correct times. You need to make sure you get a catamaran. The service and prices are the beach are okay, nothing to crazy and as expected.

I have done 2 tours and both of them were so full of people. Maragogi is overrated 100%. City does not infrastructure needed / swming pool - the visibility is low in some points and definatly they is not fish diversity. I saw people diving with cilindro in less than 1 meter depth. Until now was the worse place that I have been. Too Many people they try to seel you everything even to take pictures. Sao Miguel dos milagres is smaller but the tours over there to swimming pool were nicer .

(Translated by Google) Small guesthouse with only 2 chalets, located in the best part of Patacho Beach (only 100m from the sea but with chairs and umbrellas on the beach and far from the operators' reception areas). Super exclusive, safe and well-decorated environment for those who want peace and quiet. Naturally heated pool due to the heat of the region. Fair price. Very friendly and attentive owners with great experience in hosting people. Thank you for your kindness and chats.

(Translated by Google) An intimate place to stay. Exclusive environment, since the surrounding inns are not accessible to everyone and neither are the remains to eat. The place itself is very good, the room has everything you need to be comfortable: good mattress, good shower, large bathroom, good air conditioning. Breakfast is very good and complete. However, there are no markets in the surrounding area where you can buy food or even a bottle of water, so you must pay what the inn requests. This particular accommodation, because it is small and not on the beach, tries to provide you with lounge chairs and an umbrella. Anyway, at lunch time, you end up looking for a hostel, because the place does not provide food. And since in those places they give you the umbrella and the lounge chair with the drink you end up staying there, hahaha... at least that's how it happened to us... The beach is nice, you can walk to the natural pools, I recommend wearing water shoes now there are hidden urchins and sharp corals under the water. The beach may not appeal to everyone, since the dynamics are determined by the rise and fall of the tide... for many hours the water reaches your knees no matter how much you walk (a kilometer leisurely). Happy stay! (Original) Un lugar íntimo donde alojarse. Entorno exclusivo, ya que las posadas de los alrededores no son accesibles para todos y tampoco lo son los restos para comer. El lugar en si está muy bien, la habitación tiene todo lo necesario para estar cómodos: buen colchón, buena ducha, baño amplio, buen aire acondicionado. El desayuno es muy bueno y completo. Lo que sí en los alrededores no hay Mercados donde comprar vivieres o aunque sea una botella de agua, por lo que debes abonar lo que la posada solicite. Este alojamiento en particular, por ser pequeño y no estar sobre la playa, procura brindarte reposeras y sombrilla. De todos modos, a la hora de comer, terminas buscando un parador, porque el lugar no brinda alimentos. Y como en esos lugares te dan la sombrilla y la reposera con la consumición te terminas quedando ahí, jajaja… por lo menos así nos pasó… La playa es linda, se puede ir caminando a las piscinas naturales, recomiendo llevar calzado para el agua ya qué hay erizos escondidos y corales filosos debajo del agua. La playa puede no gustarle a todo el mundo, ya que la dinámica se halla determinada por la suba y baja de la marea… durante muchas horas el agua te llega a las rodillas sin importar cuánto camines (un kilómetro tranquilamente). Feliz estancia!

Dirty beach, old infrastructure and weird local people and beggars. I do not recommend for a family. The streets around are also dirty, no marked crossings in the city and the car and motorcar trafic is high. It is a pitty, because it has a great potential. The local authority just need to move out all the trash and regulate the annoying local vendors.

Awesome beach, really worth visiting. Between November and March, if it's not crowded you just walk along the shore and you will be offered seats ("cadeiras") under a sunshade or sunbrella for R$30. It might get really crowded on Sundays.

Plain awful. The water is disgusting and it is unclear as to whether the water is muddy or if it is sewage. We walked the entire length of the beach and didn’t find it suitable to get in at any point. The sand itself is fine. I cannot understand how this beach gets such high ratings. Avoid this beach if planning on getting in the water.

Disheartening how absolutely disgusting this beach is. Unless you are into loud sound bars from every other group, into piles of trash mixed with algae, and into muddy ocean floor, this place is not for you. The 2 stars go to how this beach looks from far away: pretty ocean reefs and blue sea water. Unfortunately up close, it is a disappointment. Avoid!

Praia do Francês is a well-known beach located in the city of Marechal Deodoro, about 20 km from Maceio.

The beach is praised for its cleanliness and relatively less crowded compared to other beaches in the region. Visitors recommend specific tents on the beach for an enjoyable stay and highlight the beautiful sunset views.
Definitely worth a visit! Wonderful beach for long walks (over 5km if you want!). The ocean is warm and the reef provides a safe area for swimming and snorkeling. The open ocean is great for surfing, but some areas have strong currents so be careful if you are outside the reef areas. There is a nice walkway just above the beach as well.

Wish the businesses would clean the beach area. There were dead fish along the water line. Bottle caps buried in the sand. Beach area lost 2 stars due to cleanliness and aggressive vendors.

I selected the area near the lifeguard tower as it was less crowded. 50R$ for table and umbrella if you don't order food.

A nice place with beautiful beach and all sorts of facilities to make the time more enjoyable. Lots of activities offered and a wide variety of food with affordable prices.

Although the beach is beautiful, but the commercial environments are disappointing and unacceptable, all they want is to make every single penny from the tourist. When you wanted to pay the buggy by credit card, they additionally charge you 15%, when you pay by debit card, they additionally charge you 10%, when you wanted to pay by Pix, they do not accept, the only way they do not charge you more is by cash.

If you're in the region, (a big if) this is the most beautiful place —the one not to miss. Take water (somehow) they don't allow the people to sell drinks of any kind, which is stupid as they allow them to sell food wrapped in plastic or foil, so it doesn't stop litter. It's special here though if you don't get too thirsty.

(Translated by Google) Wonderful, from the lagoon that runs through the city to the seas... to the sand dunes that border this scenery... wonderful! As you travel along the lagoon and pass through the city full of history, you can come across this incredible monument that is the São Francisco Mobile Dunes, from there you will see palm trees like a mirage, and when you arrive at the place it is like a paradise on a desert island with wonderful views and a beach with extremely crystal clear water but be careful! Very choppy waters! Back on the side of the lagoon where the boats dock on the promenade, families can swim in waist-deep water without worrying about their children, since the water is free of waves. We can also find a local craft fair set up right on the sand, where you can find everything from delicious soft coconut sweets to beautiful clay sculptures. The prices are so low that you won't find any in Maceió. Oh, and the homemade popsicles are fantastic! Come to this meeting with peace and happiness! (Original) Maravilhoso, desde a Laguna que percprre da cidade até os mares.. até as dunas de areia que bordam esse cenario.. maravilhoso !

De aguas bem movimentadas ! De volta para o lado da laguna onde os barcos encostam no passeio as familias podem tomar banho com a agua na cintura sem ter preocupaçao com as criança ja que a agua nao tem ondas, e também podemos encontrar a feirinha de artesanato dos moradores locais montada ali na areia mesmo que voce encontra desde cocadas moles muito saborosas até lindas esculturas de barro.. com um preço tao baixo que em maceió nenhuma vc ira encontrar.. ah tem mais o picolé caseiro é fantastico !

(Translated by Google) A wonderful place that photos and videos cannot do justice to. However, if you go there, NEVER go through CVC, TopTur, or any other travel agency, because you won't be there for long (45 minutes) and you'll have to do everything in a hurry. If you need to, rent a boat with one of the locals (you can ask at the association) and go on the boat with peace of mind. It's a little more expensive but it's worth it and you'll avoid getting angry. A place like this with such wonderful people needs to be enjoyed calmly and at your own pace. (Original) Um lugar maravilhoso que fotos e vídeos não conseguem fazer justiça. Porém, caso vá para lá NUNCA vá pela Cvc, topTur, ou qualquer outra agencia de Turismo, pois vc fica pouco tempo (45min) e tem q fazer tudo correndo. Se precisar alugue um barco com um dos locais (pode perguntar na associação ) e vá tranquilo no barco, é um pouco mais caro mas vale muito mais a pena é evita passar raiva. Um lugar como esse com um povo maravilhoso como esse precisa ser apreciado com calma e no seu tempo

Great staff, well organized and well mantained environment. The entry ticket justifies its R$ 24 price tag, letting you go to any places in the stabelecement (excluding the Yellow Submarine atraction) with freedom All animals are healthy and are well cared and loved by everyone working there. Things on the exit shop are pricy but are justificable by how much this project has been doing and how much they need to pay for taking care of the animals, maintain the building in good state and pay the employees as well. Overall, couldn't stay more happy to visit and help the project as well.
Victor R — Google review
It's so little! I would recommend if you want to see a group of sharks and some little turtles. Overall I am kind of disappointed because compared to the TAMAR project of Praia do Forte this one has only is 1/3 of the size and attractions. I would recommend watch the animal feeding. You can also ask for a stamp in your arm in case you want to go out and return later on.

The best place in morro de São Paulo , very lively, amazing beach and views and good vibes !
Alexandra G — Google review
this is a very lively crowded beach, it is semi-swimmable, but doesn't feel too clean, more for a dip in the water, as its a small bay on both sides of the point/ small island. its more a very vibrant area with a lot of choice to eat and drink, and a boardwalk for walking along the coastline, and people watch (a tonne of people watching here!!!). for a European visitor, it has Ibiza vibes, high season. so if you like party and busy, mixture of loud music, and young people, this is for you!!

Beautiful beach, you can lie down and never have to get up, someone will get you all the acai and caipi you'll need. Lots of football, dancers and people having fun!
Pavel K — Google review
The beach may have been beautiful years before but over tourism has taken its charm. For one, it is highly commercialised with several overpriced and poor quality restaurants such as Sambass, where I had a terrible meal. I am a tourist myself, but feel there was a strange vibe from the swarm of tourists there who don’t seem to understand the basic manners of public spaces and I was made to feel uncomfortable by a group of men sitting strangely close to our towels and causing us to have to move away as they began playing football over our heads. Not to mention, the beach is filthy with trash left behind from such tourists. The beach was unenjoyable due to the above and I genuinely wouldn’t recommend spending your time and money to go there. There are many other beaches in Brazil with a much better ambience and less tourists with no manners.

This place it's amazing, I can't wait to go back. If you want to save some money on food you better eat at the various restaurants at the village unread go to the beach.

It is a great beach, the water is very good, clean and warm. There is no waves, so it is possible to relax in the sea. There are a lot of restaurants in the beach.

What can I say I fell in love with morro de Sao Paulo. The second beach houses most of the restaurants and bars. this means it offers very good day and night activities

Quarta Praia

Beach
Outdoor Activities
Quarta Praia is a tranquil and secluded beach in Morro de Sao Paulo, known for its peaceful atmosphere and calm sea. It is one of the farthest beaches from the island's center, offering a long stretch of sand and delightful warm natural pools during low tide. The clear and warm waters attract numerous tourists seeking relaxation and natural beauty. Despite being less frequented due to its distance, it provides an ideal setting for those looking for restful moments away from the hustle and bustle.
Best beach in Morro. Quiet, very long and beautiful walk. We enjoyed spending time in the hammocks on the beach and had good fruit juices.
Gigi F — Google review
The sea is cleaner and clearer here, compared to 1,2,3 beaches. however it is shallow and full of rocks. so it's only for a dip/bath and not really for a swim at all. there are a handful of restaurant/bars or stalls here on the beach. the drawing point is that it is much more peaceful and beautiful than the first 2 beaches, where they are just way too busy.
MNML J — Google review
The beach is beautiful, but for those who want bath or swim, it’s better to keep walking till the second half of the beach
Bruno L — Google review
Really liked it. Away from the crowds of the other beaches that are closer to the town centre you'll find a nice beach with very little amount of people (takes a while to get there as you can only get there by foot I think). Because of that, unfortunately this isn't an option for people with reduced mobility. There are a couple of bars that (I think) serve some food (although we didn't eat). Not a place to watch the sunset, best during the morning/day time (till 16:30-17:00)
Isa A — Google review
Much quieter than in town. Worth walking here and sitting in the shade of the big trees after a splash.
Paolo D — Google review
It’s a very flat and shallow beach, even with the tide. The mud is very soft and is good for rubbing on your skin or throwing at your friends (or enemies, you choose). It’s the least crowded beach, especially farther south.
Angus B — Google review
This is the most peaceful and beautiful beach of Morro. When the tide is low you can swim in natural pools with many colorful fishes. The coast is designed with palm trees and other trees.

Moreré

Mentioned on 
12 lists 
Beach
Nature & Parks
Moreré is a tranquil and secluded white-sand beach known for its clear waters and sweeping views. It offers a secluded vibe, making it perfect for calm tourists looking to avoid crowds. One popular option to explore the area is the Volta a Ilha boat ride, which takes visitors to the calmest pools far from the bustling areas. Accessible by various means such as boat, quad bike, or even tractor, Moreré's beauty has been likened to that of the Caribbean.
Morere is difficult to get to but well worth it: small quiet village, no noise, total relaxation. Transportation on the island includes tractors, ATVs, and boats. A boat trip to the mangrove areas and wild beaches is worthwhile.

What a wonderful place! There are options for all kinds of tourists, but the calmest ones prevail. Clearest water I've ever seen. Avoid the crowds and rent the Volta a Ilha boat ride. The guys will ride away from the drunk crowds and get you to the calmest pools, quite far from the floating pub.

This famous paradise beach stretches for over 7km of white sands with natural rock pools & corals.
You should really go, check when it's low tide. Great experience for kids as well. You can just walk into the water and be surrounded by beautiful coloured fish. We didn't dive but I imagine there are amazing things to see....

Popular beach in the area to watch the sunset, lots of people having a drink and enjoying it. Water was fairly warm, waves very small, slight pebbly section at the water's edge but after that 5 metre stretch, all sandy.

Cool just to see the beach on the other side, the town and maybe a sunset. But as a beach, it's much better to go to resende, tiririca and ribeira. The sand here has a dirty-looking aspect and the beach feels crowded really fast. Not much space.

It's the perfect beach for you if you want to swim. There is a lot of bars for you to sit and ask food or a drink but there is also space on the sand if you want to have a nice and tight tan.

Itacarezinho Beach

Beach
Nature & Parks
Itacarezinho Beach is a tropical paradise located on Ilhe Itacare road, 15 km from the city center. This 3.5 km long beach is surrounded by coconut trees and features powdery white sand and a freshwater stream cascading down from the hill onto the beach. It's known for its good waves, making it a popular spot for surfing. To reach this picturesque destination, visitors can either walk down the hill or drive through private property.
This spot is as close to heaven as you can get here on earth. Be sure to stop at the Mirante on the way down for a beautiful photo. If you have the money, you can rent a gorgeous cabana, but be prepared to open up your wallet. It’s about $300R per person. $250R comes back in food and drinks. The second option is $300R total for chairs, an umbrella, pizza and a few beers. My best recommendation is solid footwear for the walk (10 mins downhill and 15 mins uphill), carry your Havianas, and bring water, snacks, and towels. You can also hike to another nearby beach on a trail should you choose. Last great perk, you can rinse off in a fresh water waterfall coming from the nearby river. Totally worth the trek.
Adrienne M — Google review
Very beautiful and quiet beach. You can get there by walking through the club, leaving your vehicle on the roadside. If you want to go down, they charge R$350 per person, which will be converted into consumption. We used the entrance fee and it wasn't worth it. I recommend walking down as access is quick and safe. There's a very good pizzeria on the beach that doesn't charge for food and costs R$80 for a pizza for two people. They also rent chairs, but as there are lots of coconut palms, a canga on the beach with the shade of these trees will take the edge off the sun.

One of the best beaches in Itacaré. You can either leave your car at the entrance and walk down to the beach or park inside the property at a cost. Itacarezinho isn't usually crowded. In case you don't have a beach chair or a parasol, you can rent them from the only kiosk you'll find on the premises. There is also a minimum spending requirement restaurant.

Waterfall Buracão

Nature & Parks
Hiking area
The Buracao Waterfall in Brazil is a breathtaking natural wonder located in a winding canyon. It can be accessed through a guided hike or swim, and is widely regarded as one of the country's most impressive waterfalls. Although not easily accessible, visitors are rewarded with stunning views of the 85-meter tall waterfall and its surrounding environment. The water temperature is pleasant and safety vests are provided for added security.
Life changing event, get up early, hire a guide there on the spot, bring water and a fruit.
Bizulino — Google review
Buracão is definitely one of the most beautiful waterfalls you'll see. And it is by far the most must-go spot in Chapada Diamantina. It is compulsory to hire a local guide to enter the park. Usually, it costs 150 for up to 6 persons (we were two, so we paid 75 reais each). The entrance fee is 15 reais per person. The access isn't as easy as many other spots around but it's really worth it. We drove past Ibicoara, about 24km on an dirt road, then another 4km past the ticket booth, and then we walked for 1 hour in an easy-level track, which is suitable for both elder and children alike. You can reach the bottom part of the waterfal either by rappel (commonly 1 ½ hours wait plus 20 minutes rappelling) or walking (20 minutes). If you choose to walk down the track, you drop your stuff on a rock and swim a small shallow canal to see the waterfall from below. Water is refreshing cold. There's no one selling beverages or whatsoever at the waterfall so it's a good idea to grab yourself something to eat. There's someone selling snacks (many vegan and vegetarian options available) and beverages at the entrance of the track (past the ticket booth, right before you start the walk).
Adriano M — Google review
This is a must do in the region. The trail is 3 km long (very short in my opinion), going through local vegetation, rock formations and the river that becomes the Waterfall. The waterfall is spectacular (nothing more to say). Our guide, Ossy (not sure I am writting that corectly) was very kind, and adapted the tour to our needs and interests. Totally recommend.

Amazing waterfall in a great setting! Definitely worth it! But avoid to do the tour with the agency Bicho do Mato - even though the price for a group of four is fixed in Ibicoara they charged us more after we returned from the tour.
B. J — Google review
Hike along a river, through the mata, down beside one waterfall to arrive at a canyon that you need to swim through to reach a spectacular waterfall... An amazing day. Just be careful following Google maps - we were led well astray. You have to go through Ibicoara, and it's worth getting a guide from there - there's a tricky lookout you probably won't find on your own to see Buracão from above.
