Sirinhaém, Coastal municipality in Pernambuco, Brazil.

The municipality stretches across 369 square kilometers of land, bordered by Rio Formoso, Ipojuca, and Tamandaré, with the Atlantic Ocean along its eastern edge.

The settlement, established in 1627, developed from indigenous territories into a regional center focused on sugar cane production and maritime trade activities.

Local traditions combine Portuguese colonial influences with indigenous practices and African heritage, reflected in regional music, dance performances, and seafood-based cooking methods.

Visitors can reach the municipality through the BR-101 highway system, with regular bus connections from Recife operating throughout the day.

The municipality contains Gamela Beach, where natural reefs form protected pools at low tide, creating spaces for swimming between coconut tree groves.
