4-day Maceió itinerary
A good Maceió itinerary takes 4 days: the first on the city beaches of Pajuçara and Ponta Verde, and the rest on day trips — Praia do Francês and Marechal Deodoro, São Miguel dos Milagres, and Gunga Beach. The full first day is below, stop by stop.
Day 1 — Pajuçara and Ponta Verde, stop by stop
Pajuçara natural pools
A raft ride at low tide out to the reef, 2 km offshore — check the tide table the day before.
Pajuçara craft market
Filé lace and Alagoan crafts right on the boardwalk, on your way back from the raft.
Ponta Verde Beach
Lunch on the seafront and an afternoon at the city's prettiest urban beach, calm and palm-lined.
Ponta Verde seafront promenade
A late-afternoon walk along the shore toward the Sereia viewpoint, coconut water in hand.
The other days, in brief
Day 2 — Praia do Francês and Marechal Deodoro

Day 3 — São Miguel dos Milagres
A day trip along the Ecological Route: near-empty beaches, natural pools, and fishing villages.
Day 4 — Gunga Beach and Barra de São Miguel
The Gunga viewpoint, the river-meets-sea landscape, and one last unhurried beach day.
This is a generic cut of Maceió. With your days, pace, and tastes, Voynara reorganizes the day trips and stops in minutes.

When is the best time to visit Maceió?
September to March, in the dry season: less rain and the natural pools at their most beautiful.
