Relax, slow down and take a beach day at Maceió. Once a hidden gem, Macieo has recently become a haven for beach goers in Brazil and around the world. With so many beaches to choose from, you have your pick of ocean views and beach activities. You also have your pick of food and souvenirs from vendors right on the beach. When it’s time to step out of the sun, shop for handcrafted goods at Mercado do Artesanato or grab a bite at one of the city’s many restaurants.
