Muro Alto Beach, Porto de Galinhas, State of Pernambuco, Brazil
The beaches known as Muro Alto and Cupe are well-known for the range of resorts and hotels the cover the surrounding areas. Muro Alto Beach is also really well known for its peaceful atmosphere.
The beach in Cupe, however, thanks to its active currents is one of the preferred places to go surfing for all those people who either live in Porto de Galinhas or visit us in order to make the best of the waves on offer.
Muro Alto is one of the most famous sites found on postcards from Porto de Galinhas. It is the perfect place to relax and bathe in the large natural swimming/snorkeling pools that are formed on the coastline.
The name “Muro Alto” literally means “Tall Wall” and is derived from the fact that along the coastline of Muro Alto Beach you will find a 150 meter long reef that looks as though it has been man-made because of its perfect wall-like nature.
Between the coast and the reef there is a giant natural pool full of warm, peaceful waters and where the majority of both tourists and locals can be found on a regular basis, taking some time to chill out and enjoy the sunshine.
