Pajucara Beach (In Portugese: Praia Pajuçara) is one of the most popular swimming beaches in the Maceio metropolitan area. Many people favor this beach over other nearby ones because of the stillness of the ocean water, making it an easy place to swim, especially for young children. The calm waters are caused by the coral reefs that protect this stretch of shoreline. The beach is located only 2 kilometers from downtown Maceio, making it easy to reach.
Maceio is the capital of the state of Alagoas, and also its largest city. More than a million people live around the metropolitan area. The city has its roots in an old plantation and sugar mill complex dating back to the 19th century. The city began to grow as shipping started out of Jaragua Bay, with leather, tobacco, sugar, coconut, and some spices being the chief exports. The village flourished through this port, making it a major city. For the past 30 years, the city has done a roaring trade in tourism, with the coastlines featuring an array of entertainment opportunities. Brazilians and foreigners alike flock to the calm waters of this coastline.
