Walk along the white sandy beaches, until the "Pontal", where the river approaches the sea. Have wonderful moments diving in natural pools of colourful coral reefs. Enjoy a golden sunset through coconut trees. Sail a "Jangada" along the Maracaípe River, through the mangroves, where you can observe stunning birds and sea horses.

There are the Natural pools. You don't need to take the boat, save your money and watch the tide, and when it's low you may go on foot until the rocks where the natural pools are. There you may feed the fish with bread. They will come eat to your hand. But take sandals or you may get cut with the corals. Try to go for a diving, a scuba diving. There is a couple of enterprises that may help you out on that.~
Existem umas piscinas naturais. Podem ir de barco ou então, poupam uns trocados e na maré baixa podem atingir a zona das piscinas naturais pelo próprio pé a partir da zona mais a sul da praia em frente da cidade. Levem umas sandálias porque não é fácil caminhar sobre as rochas/corais.Não se esqueçam da máscara de mergulho , de uma máquina subaquática e de levar algum pão para dar de comer aos peixes. Eles vêem comer à vossa mão.

There are natural swimming-pools near the beach and during high tides you can go there by boat and dive rounded by reefs. Or if you are a good swimmer you can go swimming.
