Maragogi's beach is a popular destination for day trippers from Maceió or Porto de Galinhas, boasting a plethora of amenities such as restaurants, kiosks, bars, and services. Visitors can also enjoy a ride on a speedboat or boat to explore the natural pools. The sea is typically tranquil throughout the day, particularly during low tide. One of the highlights of the beach is the Caminho de Moisés, a vast sandbank that only emerges during very low tide, attracting many visitors. The water's color varies depending on various factors such as the sun and time of year, but it generally appears as a stunning turquoise blue, earning the beach its nickname as the "Brazilian Caribbean" in the northeast region. However, during rainy months and strong winds, the water may become more disturbed and darker.

Oh, the beach, how original. Yes, it's beautiful, with its calm sea, perfect for those who can't handle a little wave action. And let's not forget the amazing infrastructure, with all the bars and restaurants you could ever want. And if you're feeling adventurous, you can even take a speedboat ride or try your hand at water biking. As for accommodations, I stayed at Kiosque Baiano, which was surprisingly decent for the price. The service was good, and the fish was actually quite tasty. It even fed four people, which is saying something. But even with all these amenities, the real star of the show is the beach itself. Even on a rainy day, the beauty of the beach still shines through. So if you're in the market for a beach vacation that's a little cliché but still enjoyable, this one's for you.
