Audio Guide of Ponta Verde Beach

As a public urban beach, Ponta Verde Beach is open 24 hours a day. Access is very easy on foot from the seafront promenade or by using public transport along Silvio Carlos Viana Avenue.

Access to the sand and the sea is completely free. However, keep in mind that using umbrellas and chairs at private kiosks, or taking kayak trips to the natural pools, does involve an additional cost.

We recommend setting aside at least half a day, around 4 hours, to enjoy low tide and, if possible, staying until sunset to see the area come alive with its famous beach bars.

Ponta Verde is the modern heart of Maceió; formerly called 'Coconut Tree Point,' it is famous for its iconic lighthouse and for the coral reefs that protect the coast, creating a unique landscape of calm waters.

Without a doubt, the best time is during low tide (check the tide table), because natural pools form and you can walk almost all the way to the lighthouse. The dry season, from September to March, offers the clearest water.

Yes, the seafront promenade is wide, paved, and flat, making it ideal for people with reduced mobility. In addition, Maceió has accessible beach initiatives in nearby areas to make assisted swimming easier.

You are strategically located between two gems: to the south is Pajuçara Beach (famous for its traditional rafts), and to the north is Jatiúca Beach, known for its excellent food scene.

Be careful of sea urchins if you walk toward the reefs, and make sure to return before the tide comes in. Don't forget to try the tapiocas at the promenade stalls for a complete local experience.
