This Tranquil Beach Town Is a Trending Shoulder Season Destination-and It Has Turquoise Waters and Pristine Sands

"As summer slips into fall and winter hovers on the horizon, travel enters its sweetest season: the shoulder. Airfares dip, beaches clear, and everyone takes a collective breath after the rush of summer. Brazil is no exception. Known for its 4,655 miles of coastline, the vast Amazon, and the energy of Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo, the country rarely feels uncrowded."

"One of Ipojuca's hidden gems is an Airbnb located right on Praia de Muro Alto. The beach's calm waters are steps from the Airbnb's swimming pool and the outdoor patio leading to an air-conditioned interior. Called the " Bangalo Ecoara Residence," the Airbnb can house up to nine people. The three-bedroom, three-bath bungalow has one of the best locations in the Praia de Muro Alto area-and one of the best reputations in the region."

Ipojuca, a smaller coastal town in Pernambuco, becomes especially attractive during the shoulder season between September and November when airfares dip, weather leans sunnier, rains lighten, and crowds are thinner. Praia de Muro Alto features calm, reef-protected waters that resemble a lagoon, perfect for families, snorkelers, beginner paddleboarders, and kayakers. Nearby Porto de Galinhas offers clear natural tide pools and additional coastal attractions. A beachfront Airbnb called the " Bangalo Ecoara Residence," is a three-bedroom, three-bath bungalow that sleeps nine, holds a near-perfect 4.98 rating, and is managed by a superhost.
