Coqueiro Seco is a residential and beach district on the southern edge of Maceió, known for its calm waters and unhurried pace. Unlike the busier tourist beaches, this area offers a more authentic slice of coastal life. Visitors can stroll along the shoreline, swim in gentle waves, or sample fresh seafood at small beachside kiosks. The neighborhood's name, meaning 'dry coconut tree,' hints at its rustic charm. It's a favorite spot for locals seeking weekend relaxation away from crowds.
