The northeastern coast of Brazil is kicking off this year’s summer season with a curated list of 28 spectacular coastal destinations now fully operational. Spanning the sun-drenched coastlines from Bahia to Maranhão, this captivating route focuses on low-tide ecotourism, offering visitors the chance to explore breathtaking natural pools. Regional accommodations cater to every traveler, ranging from charming fishing villages to world-class, all-inclusive resorts.
In the state of Pernambuco, the municipality of Ipojuca serves as a prime hospitality hub, conveniently located just 60 kilometers (37 miles) from Recife International Airport. The vibrant traveler flow in the famous Porto de Galinhas district is welcomed by premium properties such as the Westin Porto de Galinhas and the luxurious Nannai Muro Alto. Further south in Bahia, Praia do Forte blends upscale comfort with environmental stewardship, anchored by the Tivoli Ecoresort and the renowned Tamar Project, a highly successful marine turtle conservation initiative.
Scenic overland journeys from state capitals create the perfect framework for unforgettable day trips in Ceará and Paraíba. Accessing the striking colorful cliffs of Morro Branco beach involves a 90-kilometer (56-mile) drive from Fortaleza, while the pristine Lagoinha beach lies 110 kilometers (68 miles) away. Meanwhile, in João Pessoa, thrilling dune buggy rides take travelers on a 33-kilometer (20-mile) coastal adventure straight to the beautiful shores of Tabatinga beach.
Protected island sanctuaries and cliffside havens maintain specialized logistical operations to ensure an unforgettable and sustainable experience for summer visitors. Access to the globally acclaimed Baía do Sancho—served by the cozy Pousada da Germana in the Fernando de Noronha archipelago—rewards adventurous travelers who descend a unique staircase built into the rocky cliffs. Down the coast in Alagoas, Praia do Gunga offers a spectacular dual experience, allowing visitors to alternate between the sweeping open ocean and the tranquil waters of Roteiro Lagoon.
