Barra de São Miguel, Coastal municipality in Alagoas, Brazil
The municipality spans 77 square kilometers along the northeastern Brazilian coast, featuring natural saltwater pools formed by coral barriers at low tide.
Established on July 2, 1963, Barra de São Miguel grew from a small fishing settlement into a developed municipality within the state of Alagoas.
The municipality holds traditional Festa Junina celebrations with regional dances, music performances, and local food specialties throughout the month of June.
Visitors can reach Barra de São Miguel through BR-101 highway and AL-220 road, with regular bus services operating from downtown Maceió every 15 minutes.
During low tide, the coral reef barrier creates one of Brazil's largest natural swimming pools, allowing observation of marine life in shallow waters.
