About this site
Porto de Galinhas sits on the coast of Ipojuca in Pernambuco, in Brazil's northeast, an area known for its natural tidepools formed by offshore reef formations. The Galeao site takes its name from a shipwreck referenced in local diving circles along this stretch of reef-lined coastline. Boats to sites like this typically depart from the beach at Porto de Galinhas itself.
