Ponta dos Mangues in Sergipe is perfect for those seeking tranquility and sea bathing, it is part of the Santa Isabel biological reserve and the reserve was created 25 years ago to preserve the ecosystem.
Ponta dos Mangues beach is part of the Santa Isabel biological reserve, an environmental preservation area.
The beach is deserted, perfect for those seeking tranquility and a good swim.
The name of the place is due to the large presence of mangroves. The biological reserve has an environmental preservation area of six thousand hectares – the equivalent of nine thousand soccer fields.
It was created 25 years ago to preserve the ecosystem formed by mangroves, lagoons and dunes, which are very close to the beach. The sand carefully draws natural pools, shallow and deep.
The construction of houses and visitation are controlled by environmental agencies. Therefore, there are few options for accommodation. The inns charge, on average, R$ 100 per day for two people.
A suggestion of a walk very close to the beach is to visit the village Junça, to know the work that the artisans do with the straw. The pieces are sold, on average, for R$ 30.
Walking another ten minutes you will find a fishing village. It is located on an islet that was formed over the years with the sand brought by the river. The fishermen themselves are the guides on the tours through the mangrove that borders the village. The tour for five people lasts half an hour and costs R$ 60.
