Sightseeing in Maceio - what to see. Complete travel guide

The area of the Brazilian megalopolis was discovered by European naval explorers in 1609. Having stepped on this land, Europeans quickly noticed that this region is perfectly suitable for agriculture. The first settlement on the site of modern Maceio appeared soon after the discovery. Slowly, immigrants from different European countries started settling in Brazil. They were exploring wild areas, building new fazendas, and making plantations.
Avenida Beach is the most popular public beach in Maceio. Both locals and guests of this city enjoy relaxing here. There are many hotels of different segments along Avenida. The beach is mostly covered with sand but there are areas with the pebble surface. That is why it is better to have your shoes on if you decide to take a stroll. The ocean water has the highest temperature in the period from December to May. Its temperature can reach 32°C during these months. That being said, the water temperature is between 27°C and 30°C in the remaining months.

Naturally, Maceio is primarily a beach destination, so its excellent beaches remain the main attraction of this place. Sobral Beach or Praia do Sobral is an incredibly popular coastal area. Water is always calm and warm here. However, the bottom is unpredictable as there can be shallow areas and deep areas, so parents are better to keep an eye on their small kids and don’t leave them unattended. Families with older children can relax here safely. Simply explore the coastal water beforehand and tell kids if there are any deep areas nearby.

Guaxuma Beach is one more family-friendly place in Maceio. You will not find any bays, rocks or reefs near this beach. Guaxuma is about tranquility and calmness. The beach has vegetation, and the coastal water is shallow. On a hot day, it is particularly pleasant to sit under the shade of beautiful trees that grow on Guaxuma. The ocean is always calm here, and the bottom doesn’t have unpleasant surprises like sharp stones. A special bordered swimming area for children makes it very comfortable for parents to keep an eye on their kids.
