This article aimed to investigate the social and environmental impacts caused by the increase of real estate projects and to analyze the relationship between society and nature in the Praia do Saco space in the city of Marechal Deodoro – Alagoas/Brazil. In the space on the coastal area of Alagoas is noted an increase of real estate ventures in protected areas, where the access to the beach becomes private, the communities are displaced, and the nature is destroyed and replaced by allotments and gated communities. In this sense, we developed a theoretical discussion about the production of space and the dialectic of nature. It was also necessary to make a specific analysis of produced space in Praia do Saco, identifying the vectors of overflowing from the capital Maceió to the South Coast of Alagoas, socio-spatial actions, agents and transformations, as well as irregularities and socio-environmental impacts in order to investigate critically the contemporary dynamics of this space. Field visits were made for observation and analysis of the area in question, to take photographs and conduct interviews. Thus, it was found that this process of real estate increase in the southern coast of the Metropolitan Region of Maceió has reproduced the accumulation by dispossession, because real estate developers appropriate areas, generating, directly or indirectly, a displacement of traditional communities. Besides these actions are causing a strong social and environmental impact in the area by the irregular exploitation of the soil.
