Porto de Galinhas - Originally a tiny fishing
village, during the height of the slave trade
slaves would be brought into the trading post
with the guineafowl, and the code would be
given "tem galinha nova no porto" ("there are
new chickens in the port"). Readers of Brazil's
Voyage and Tourism magazine voted

Galinhas "Best Brazilian Beach" eight years in
a row based on the beauty of the natural tide
pools and coral reefs, ecological trails, hotel
infrastructure and proximity to the major city
and airport in Recife.
Boa Viagem - Located in the upscale
Southern zone of Recife, the coastline is
protected by a long reef wall which

provides calm water and warm
temperatures. The urbanized sea front
boasts the Shopping Center Recife,
outdoor cafés, restaurants, night clubs,
and most of Recife's best hotels. The
beach is lit at night, drawing the younger
crowds for night swimming.
Ilha de Itamaracá - The name is derived
from the Tupi words itá ("stone") and
mbara'ká ("shaker"). The island is separated from the

mainland by the Canal de Santa Cruz, and is known for
having one of the oldest if not the first Jewish
communities in the Americas.
