Paripueira

Paripueira is a coastal municipality in Alagoas in northeastern Brazil, stretching along extensive beaches and featuring natural tide pools. The landscape is shaped by a flat shoreline with rock pools that become accessible at low tide.

The municipality was officially established on October 5, 1989, marking a significant administrative change in the Alagoas region. This founding continued the administrative development of the Alagoas state.

The January celebration honoring Santo Amaro draws locals together with religious ceremonies, regional food specialties, and traditional performances. These festivities show how the community keeps its customs and beliefs alive through shared celebration.

The natural rock pools are accessible during low tide periods and offer warm water throughout the year. The best time to visit is during tidal phases when the pools become fully visible.

The Municipal Marine Park supports a protection program for Amazonian manatee populations. This program helps keep the threatened species thriving in its natural habitat.
