Maragogi
Maragogi is a municipality of the Brazilian state located on the north coast of the state of Alagoas and 125 km north of Maceió its capital.
As the main destination of the State of Alagoas after the capital, Maragogi attracts visitors from Maceió.
From Japaratinga beach, in the extreme south, a ferry crosses Manguaba River to Porto das Pedras, where visitors find practically deserted beaches. Maragogi was originally a village called Gamela.
In 1887, it was granted the status of city, adopting the name Isabel, in honor of the Brazilian princess who signed a law to end slavery in Brazil. Later, in 1892, it came to be called Maragogi, because of the river that bathes the city. "Maragogi", according to some historians, comes from "Marahub-gy", or river of the tribes Marauba.
Maragogi is the gateway to a set of eight cities located along the northern coast of the state of Alagoas, called the Coral Coast. In addition to Maragogi, these cities include Japaratinga, Porto de Pedras and São Miguel dos Milagres, Passo de Camaragibe and Barra de Santo Antonio

Maragogi is the second tourist destination in the state of Alagoas, between Maceió and Recife
approximately 125 km from each one. Known for its natural beauties and extensive coconut palms

Many visitors prefer to stroll along the reef (wearing appropriate footwear) or its beaches looking for sea life or shells, admiring the formations of coral, or just relax marveling at the constant color changing Caribbean like clear waters.

Weather
January and Carnival (four days in February or March) are considered the high season for tourism. However, the weather is great from October to April.
The warm, humid tropical climate is cooled by the wonderful sea breeze along the beach.
At other times of the year, the weather remains hot, but the rainy season presents unpredictable amounts of precipitation. For those who can travel outside the high season, the region has the added attraction of good prices and organized beaches.
