State of Alagoas

Alagoas is a small state in northeastern Brazil with a tropical coastline of palm-lined, white-sand beaches, clear lagoons and coral reefs. Maceió, its capital, is home to the popular Pajuçara and Ponta Verde beaches, with hotels, bars and restaurants. Coral reefs fringe the coastline north of Maceió, earning it the nickname Costa dos Corais (Coral Coast).
