São Miguel dos Milagres

São Miguel dos Milagres is a coastal municipality in Alagoas that stretches along the Ecological Route with warm waters and natural rock pools. These formations appear during low tide and give visitors access to explore diverse coastal landscapes.

The municipality was founded in 1960, taking its name from a statue of Saint Michael that a fisherman discovered on a local beach. This discovery became the origin story that defines the place to this day.

The community maintains strong ties to traditional fishing practices, with local fishermen using wooden rafts called jangadas for their daily activities.

Visitors reach the location via Maceió Airport, approximately 100 kilometers away, with rental cars available for local travel. The best time to explore the rock pools is during low tide when these areas become accessible.

The municipality contains five beaches with natural pools that emerge during low tide, allowing visitors to observe marine life in shallow waters.
