Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

It's really a pool with no waves whatsoever specially during low tide. The coral reef barrier leaves a pretty nice pool. Ideal for safely bring kids to the water. You can practice Stand up paddle and kayak.
Parking can be messy but there is a free area up the road with shade even.

Muro Alto is an extraordinary beach, almost private for those who are at the resorts in the area. The water is warm, however you should be careful with the coral reefs, because of the sea urchins that are very common there. Almost at the end of the beach there´s a very nice area in front of Nannai Resort Hotel where you can swim or ride in kaiaks. It's worthed the visit.

There's a Muro Alto beach where everyone hangs out. It's not bad. The water is nice, good for kids. Lots of bars/restaurants. Food is okay. We liked the fact that they had restrooms and showers.
Now, there's another part of Muro Alto that has no bars and no crowds. That one is calm and beautiful. A little harder to get to for you need a buggy to go on the sand.

Dirty and noisy and ugly, don’t bother going there. The quad ride is short and not fun at all, basically a rip off.

This beach is very beautiful and peaceful. We really enjoyed our vacation in this small town. The beach was clean and not crowded, on the day my husband and I visited. There are areas to take really beautiful photos. If you need some rest and relaxation, this is the beach to go to.

Went to Muro Alto in a rental car and parked in a shaded area but be careful because the sand and if you don't have 4 wheel drive you could get stuck but there are guys to help for a price of course. I loved the beach and how calm and warm the water was. The deepest the water gets is chest high. There's a huge reef that runs parallel to the beach and you can climb up and see the ocean but the rocks are sharp. I totally recommend going to this place for a relaxing time.

Being quite shallow and with no waves, the water is very warm. Lovely beach to try out kayaking and stand up paddle boarding without the added challenge of dealing with waves.
Also nice to do snorkelling by the coral reef.

Quais são os valores dos alugueis de caiaques e standup paddles na praia de Muro Alto atualmente? E para quanto tempo? Obrigado!

Olá, não sei lhe informar sobre as prais no Rio de Janeiro. Creio que no inverno a temperatura das águas sejam mais frias do que no verão. Mas compensa sempre visitar as prais do Rio.

Quero viajar em maio mas tenho medo de chover muito e não cons eguir aproveitar, alguém sabe se maio é um mês ruim pra ir? Porque em sp chove muito e é frio
Written 24 February 2021
Olha só , frio não existe lá !!! O frio de lá é chuva , isso irá comprometer muito sua estadia , pois a chuva compromete a beleza dos passeios , mas dificilmente chove o dia todo , mas consequentemente atrapalha principalmente a cor clara das águas cristalinas... Se me permitir a dica , diria pra você pesquisar a tábua de maré , se durante a sua estadia estiver menor que 0.6 TA-CA-LHE-PAU , não vai se arrepender.

No geral faz parte do passeio ponta a ponta de bugue.
Vale a pena.
Se tem filhos pequenos é o lugar ideal. Pois não tem onda. Dá pra, ter uma piscina de água salgada.
Ótimo pra passar o dia.
Se estiverem em mais pessoas tem camarotes que vale o preço.

Ouvi falar que começaram uma obra "faraônica" no final do ano de 2020...quem esteve por lá neste período pode confirmar por gentileza?
E acaso, teriam indicações de pousada/ hotel.
Grata

Boa tarde. Alguma dica de quiosque, bar, restaurante ou barraca que ofereça uma boa estrutura para banhista? Vou estar na Praia do Cupe, mas pretendo visitar Muro Alto... Obrigado 🙂

Bom dia. Em muro alto existe apenas um bar estruturado que não lembro o nome, mas fica próximo do bar da Ana. Existem outros bares, porém a estrutura é bem simples.

Gostaria de uma dica para ir do centro de Porto de Galinhas para a Praia de Muro Alto, sem agência de turismo.
Written 11 October 2020
O deslocamento de Porto até Muro Alto é bem rápido e tranquilo. O grande problema é o estacionamento que cobram, em média, 20 reais e fora deles é muito ruim deixar o veículo. É aconselhável ir com carro próprio do que contratar um agência, pois não é tão difícil se localizar na região de muro alto.

Não identifiquei ninguém fazendo Pic Nic, os estacionamentos são nos acessos à praia, mas não sei quanto estão cobrando atualmente e se consumir nas barracas deles, tinha desconto até a isenção do estacionamento.
