São José da Coroa Grande, Coastal municipality in southern Pernambuco, Brazil
The town extends along 9.9 kilometers of coastline, featuring natural pools formed by coral reefs and transparent waters near the Atlantic Ocean.
Established in 1958, São José da Coroa Grande developed from a small fishing settlement into a municipal center at the southernmost point of Pernambuco.
Local fishermen maintain traditional methods of artisanal fishing, contributing to the regional economy and preserving maritime customs of northeastern Brazil.
The municipality offers multiple beach access points with calm waters, including Gravatá Beach and Várzea do Una Beach, suitable for swimming and water activities.
During low tide, the sandbanks between the seafront and coral reefs emerge, creating crown-shaped formations that gave the municipality its name.
