Porto de Galinhas
 Porto de Galinhas, once a small obscure fishing town 60km south of Recife, has now become a major tourist attraction and can easily be described as an unforgettable paradise. An eighteen-kilometer stretch of enchanting beach, lined with palm trees, mangroves and cashew trees, lies around 3km from the town center. There are many small boats for rent that will take you out to the warm waters of Ilha de Santo Alexio island, where you can easily spend the day soaking up the sun and taking in the fabulous sights. Another big attraction is the Muro Alto beach, which is best reached by dune buggy. Also worth visiting is the ancient and magnificent convent of Santo Cristo, founded by the monk, Antonio da Ilha, back in the 17th century. Most of the cheaper pousadas are in the center of the village, while the better hotels are on the beachfront.
