The purpose of this study is to analyze the sidewalks walkability of the Atalaia seashore, Aracaju, Sergipe, Brazil. This study is characterized as quantitative and descriptive, based on a survey. The sample was composed of 140 individuals who were walking at Atalaia seashore, being classified as non-probabilistic by accessibility. A questionnaire was distributed to data collection, covering thirteen closed-ended questions, based on a 7-point Likert scale. The results showed that physical infrastructure of the Atalaia’s sidewalks was mentioned as the worst evaluated item and the amount of ramps along the sidewalks was also assessed as negative. In contrast, the walkability is not usually hampered by the width of the sidewalks or obstacles. The amount of lights along Atalaia’s sidewalks was classified as satisfactory. The respondents positively highlighted the comfort provided by walking on these sidewalks. However, the security was assessed as a negative characteristic. In addition, the schooling of passers-by, the reasons that lead them to the sidewalks, and the frequency of the walks can justify differences in the perception of quality about the walkability at Atalaia’s sidewalks. Finally, we verified that the more frequent the users, the more critical they become about the aspects: irregularities in the physical infrastructure, signaling, presence of tactile paving and specific light traffic
