On Santa Luzia Island in the municipality of Barra dos Coqueiros are the beaches of Atalaia Nova, da Costa and Jatobá, 1 kilometre from Aracajú, separated only by the Sergipe River.
There are also mangroves, rivers and the Atlantic Ocean. The municipality of Barra dos Coqueiros has landscapes that will enchant any tourist.
An almost wild beauty, but with a good infrastructure that is still little explored.
The beaches of the island of Santa Luzia in Sergipe are a haven for fishermen, surfers and nature lovers.
The municipality of Barra de Coqueiros and a huge beach with several semi-deserted stretches amid coconut trees and mangroves make up the island of Santa Luzia.
Those looking for a night out should cross the bridge and head towards Praia da Atalaia, Aracaju’s busiest beach.
The Aracaju-Barra dos Coqueiros Bridge is one of the routes that leads to the Island of Santa Luzia, just ten minutes away.
The other route is across the Sergipe River, which separates Aracaju from a paradise called Santa Luzia Island. The crossing is made on a small boat called a “tototó”.
The boat is very rustic and takes its name from the noise of its engine. The ticket costs one real and there are tototó boats mooring on both sides of the river every 15 minutes.
The boats are so common that they have become part of the river’s landscape. The journey to Barra dos Coqueiros takes just over five minutes.

There are few accommodation options, but they are comfortable.
There’s no stress or worry that can resist places like Capuã beach. On this stretch of coastline, the waves are the biggest attraction and the place is a favourite with surfers.
The tip for visitors is to wait until late afternoon and enjoy the sunset.
