Japaratinga, Beach municipality in Alagoas, Brazil.
Located along the Costa dos Corais, Japaratinga extends across 86 square kilometers of coastline with numerous white sand beaches and coral reefs.
The settlement originated as a fishing colony in the 1800s and officially became a municipality on July 23, 1960, under local government administration.
