Situated in the municipality of Ipojuca, the Brazilian beachside town of Porto de Galinhas is renowned for its eponymous beach that boasts a seemingly endless white-sand strip lapped by the crystalline waters of the Atlantic Ocean and fringed by countless beach resorts. The famous natural pools with clear warm water, estuaries, coconut trees, and mangroves are simply not-to-be-missed. Visitors can sample tasty local cuisine, purchase handicrafts at the local market and enjoy the variety of lively cafes, restaurants and bars mostly concentrated in the centre of Porto. A popular activity is an end-to-end buggy tour by locals that visits the beaches of Muro Alto, Pontal do Cupê, Coqueiral de Maracaipe, the edge of Maracaipe and Pontal de Maracaipe. Other things to do include kitesurfing, swimming and scuba diving to encounter the region's marine life.
