Muro Alto, one of the most famous beaches in Porto de Galinhas Divulgação/Águila Comunicação
Praia de Muro Alto in Ipojuca on Pernambuco's south coast has been named one of the top 25 beaches in the world in 2024 by specialist website TripAdvisor in a ranking published this week.
In the publication, TripAdvisor highlights that Muro Alto, in the Porto de Galinhas district, is known for its unique natural pool formations.
“Lush vegetation surrounds white sand and wavefree water (ideal for children!) creates a relaxing atmosphere. Go kayaking, standup paddle boarding or snorkeling in the coral reefs (there is plenty of marine life) or scuba diving in the calm sea,” the website says.
Ipanema Beach in Rio de Janeiro, which came in 17th place, is the other Brazilian beach in the ranking. Baía do Sancho in Fernando de Noronha, which won last year and five other times, was not on the list this time.
First place went to Falésia Beach in Portugal. Second: Isola dei Conigli in Lampedusa, Italy. And in third place was La Concha Beach in DonostiaSan Sebastián, Spain.
