Lagoa Niquim is a coastal lagoon system located in the municipality of Barra de São Miguel, Alagoas, Brazil, approximately 29 kilometers south of the state capital, Maceió. This brackish water body is formed by the Rio Niquim, which flows into the Atlantic Ocean at Praia do Niquim, creating a large, scenic estuary. The lagoon is part of a biodiverse mangrove ecosystem and is a popular destination for both recreational activities and traditional fishing within the region. Its waters have historically been attributed with medicinal properties by local communities.
