Porto de Galinhas has the typical infrastructure of a very popular beach destination, concentrated in the village. Outside it, on the beaches of Muro Alto, Cupe, Maracaípe, Serrambi and Toquinho, services are more spread out, so it is worth sorting a few things out in advance.

Transportation

From the airport: see the options in Recife airport to Porto de Galinhas and how to get to Porto de Galinhas.
Between the beaches: car, taxi, ride-hailing app and buggy. At quiet times, it can take a while to get an app ride on the more remote beaches.
Tourist transportation: tourist transportation companies should be registered with Cadastur, the Brazilian Ministry of Tourism’s registry. Check before booking.

Money and payments

Prices are in Brazilian reais (BRL, R$). Cards and Pix (Brazil’s instant bank transfer system) are widely accepted in village shops, but beach stalls, jangadeiros (raft boatmen) and street vendors may prefer cash or Pix. Ask first.
Do not rely on a single ATM: bring an alternative means of payment.
Check the amount before paying and ask for a receipt.

Internet and mobile phones

Mobile coverage is usually better in the village than on the more isolated stretches of coast. Download offline maps and the tide table before heading to remote beaches.
