In São Miguel dos Milagres, the sea reshapes the landscape throughout the day. At low tide, sandbanks and natural pools reveal part of the richness that gives the Coral Coast its name.
A protected territory between Alagoas and Pernambuco
Created in 1997 and expanded in 2025, the Coral Coast Environmental Protection Area covers approximately 495 thousand hectares across the two states.
São Miguel dos Milagres is part of this protected area, made up of beaches, estuaries, mangroves and reefs connected to each other.
The tide sets the rhythm of the tour
Consulting the tide table helps you choose the best time to go out. When the sea level drops, the natural pools become more visible and some experiences become possible.
As times and conditions change daily, confirm the schedule with authorized operators.
Reefs, mangroves and marine life
The reefs are home to different species, the mangroves function as natural nurseries and the coastal waters are part of the habitat of threatened animals, such as the marine manatee.
Not touching the corals, not removing natural elements and following local guidelines are simple attitudes that help preserve the destination.
Getting to know the Coral Coast also means learning to leave the landscape intact.
Plan your departure according to the tide, choose authorized providers and allow yourself to observe each scenario calmly.
