Overview
São Miguel dos Milagres is a tiny fishing village on the coast of Alagoas that has earned the nickname "Brazilian Caribbean" for its turquoise, calm waters and coconut-fringed beaches. Unlike Brazil's famous beach destinations, it remains undeveloped and quiet, making it ideal for travelers seeking solitude, natural beauty, and slow-paced days.
