Praia do Jacaré

Mentioned on

Beach
Nature & Parks
Praia do Jacaré, located in Cabedelo near Joao Pessoa, is a low-key beach known for its boat docks and esplanade lined with restaurants and bars. The highlight of this beach is the daily sunset celebration accompanied by live music, featuring the famous saxophonist Jurandy do Sax performing Bolero by Ravel. This unique experience has made Praia do Jacaré a popular destination for visitors seeking a magical and romantic sunset setting.
Beautiful little area. There is no beach per se, however, the little area is very clean, new with tons of shops and space to watch the sunset or shop. It is a very recommendable spot to come while in João Pessoa for the souvenir possibilities and to see the area/music/sunset.
Miguel S — Google review
Most popular sunset in Brazil. 🌅 However, if you want more beautiful ones, try Barra Grande, Bahia, or the dunes of Lençois Maranhenses. What’s special here is that the music is nice; also there are free bathrooms. Other than that it’s pretty crowded.
Alexandra K — Google review
Nice touristic spot to see the sunset. It's basically a street following the river with bunch of small stores to buy souvenirs and food. You can park your car for free at the public designated area, but you will have an army of people trying to make your park before on their area for 5 reais. That's not a lot to pay, but if you don't want to, ignore them and park at the end on the left.

Very nice, but simple. Lots of shops with neat tourist items and some restaurants. Running the gauntlet of people trying to "sell" a parking space is annoying. Of course, Bolero at sunset is the highlight.

(Translated by Google) I believe that every good travel experience begins with choosing the right place to stay. And, unfortunately, we made a mistake in this regard. João Pessoa is an incredible city — beautiful, welcoming, and full of polite and helpful people. However, our stay at the Tambaú Beach Hotel left much to be desired. The location is excellent, super close to everything, but the hotel falls short in several aspects, especially in the cleanliness of the rooms and bathrooms. The walls had mold — and, from what I've seen in other comments here on Google, it wasn't an isolated problem. A real nightmare for anyone with allergies! We booked some tours with Luck Turismo, which is a partner of the hotel and has a permanent space in the reception area to sell packages. One of the tours left at 6:45 am, and since breakfast is only served from 6:30 am, I tried to talk to the reception to see if it would be possible to arrive 10 minutes earlier or if they could prepare a snack for us to take with us. In other hotels I've stayed in, this has always been resolved willingly — after all, we are in a tourist city. But, to my surprise, the response was curt and abrupt: “There’s nothing we can do, can’t you have coffee in 15 minutes? That’s all the time you have.” No willingness to help, not even an attempt at a solution. As a result, I gulped down my food so as not to miss the tour. Another day, I ordered a tapioca for breakfast (which is made to order) and, quite rudely, the employee informed me that it would be the last one—at 7:20 am, with several guests still arriving to eat! I waited more than 15 minutes and, when I asked again, I was told they wouldn't be making any more tapioca that day. I could have enjoyed my breakfast normally, but I ended up wasting time waiting for something that never came. I also had an unpleasant experience when requesting a hairdryer at reception. The attendant, wearing headphones, showed complete unwillingness—he huffed, stood up, and handed over the item visibly annoyed, as if he were doing me a favor. In short, there are many accommodation options in João Pessoa, and I would certainly choose a different one on a future visit. The Tambaú Beach Hotel presents itself as a 3-star hotel, but honestly, it doesn't even come close to deserving one. (Original) Acredito que toda boa experiência de viagem começa pela escolha do local onde ficar. E, infelizmente, nesse ponto, nós erramos. João Pessoa é uma cidade incrível — linda, acolhedora e cheia de pessoas educadas e solícitas. Porém, nossa hospedagem no Tambaú Beach Hotel deixou bastante a desejar. A localização é excelente, super próxima de tudo, mas o hotel peca em vários aspectos, especialmente na limpeza dos quartos e banheiros. As paredes apresentavam mofo — e, pelo que vi em outros comentários aqui no Google, não foi um problema isolado. Um verdadeiro pesadelo para quem é alérgico! Fechamos alguns passeios com a Luck Turismo, que é parceira do hotel e tem um espaço fixo na recepção para venda dos pacotes. Um dos passeios saía às 6h45, e como o café da manhã é servido apenas a partir das 6h30, tentei conversar com a recepção para ver se seria possível entrar 10 minutinhos antes ou se poderiam separar um lanche para levarmos. Em outros hotéis que já fiquei, isso sempre foi resolvido com boa vontade — afinal, estamos em uma cidade turística. Mas, para minha surpresa, a resposta foi seca e ríspida: “Não tem como fazer nada, você não consegue tomar café em 15 minutos? É o tempo que você tem.” Sem disposição em ajudar, nem sequer uma tentativa de solução. Resultado: engoli a comida às pressas para não perder o passeio. Em outro dia, pedi uma tapioca no café da manhã (que é feita na hora) e, com bastante grosseria, a funcionária me informou que aquela seria a última — às 7h20 da manhã, com vários hóspedes ainda chegando para comer! Esperei mais de 15 minutos e, ao perguntar novamente, ouvi que não fariam mais nenhuma tapioca naquele dia. Poderia ter aproveitado o café normalmente, mas acabei perdendo tempo esperando algo que nunca veio. Também tive uma experiência desagradável ao solicitar um secador na recepção. O atendente, de fone de ouvido, demonstrou total má vontade — bufou, levantou e entregou o item visivelmente contrariado, como se estivesse me fazendo um favor. Em resumo, há muitas opções de hospedagem em João Pessoa, e certamente escolheria outra em uma próxima visita. O Tambaú Beach Hotel se apresenta como um hotel 3 estrelas, mas, sinceramente, não chega nem perto de merecer uma.

(Translated by Google) Of the natural pools, we only visited Picãozinho, but we enjoyed the trip. There are lots of little fish and the water is really crystal clear. We missed more guidance regarding environmental care. But it is worth visiting. (Original) Das piscinas naturais conhecemos somente Picãozinho, mas gostamos do passeio.

Cabo Branco Beach is a popular destination known for its long sandy stretch, perfect for swimming and sunbathing. The area offers nearby eateries and a well-designed boardwalk with standardized kiosks and pleasant wooden furniture. This beach provides a mix of lively atmosphere with kiosks and quieter areas towards Cabo de Santo Agostinho. It's also recognized for its palm trees providing ample shade, making it kid-friendly.

Nice beach, but apparently the water is not so clean because the sewage system is directly dumping contaminated water in it. This is especially not pleasant during high tide and is also not very healthy. The beach is beautiful with many stands along the way of the beach.
F. N — Google review
Cabo Branco and Tambaú are among the best beaches in the Northeast. No, not the prettiest, but for a place to just enjoy the beach, they are hard to beat. Relatively safe water, not too rough. Many quiosques offer food and drinks. For more youthful excitement, go North to the Intermares Beach where you will often find surfers. Thus, it is windier and rougher, but there is much more boating activity to watch.

Mincel P — Google review
Cabo Branco Beach is possibly the best beach in the city, mostly because of the infrastructure in the area: there are many hotels, beach bars, restaurants of all types (from pizza joints to fine dining establishments); you can rent bicycles to ride on the dedicated bike path that runs all along the coast of Joao Pessoa to Cabedelo. If you are a sun worshipper, you can rent a beach chair and an umbrella and sit on the golden sand, looking at the beautiful turquoise water that’s always warm. Cabo Branco Beach is flanked by 2 other beaches: Tambaú Beach and Seixas Beach which is where the easternmost point of the Americas is located. There are a lot of reasons to visit this beach and I highly recommend you come.

Classic example of big Brazilian public work. Once the big investment is done (the propina ends and a big opening celebration), then starve the project for maintenance. It is not hopeless yet, but nearly nothing was open or in good condition. Hurrah! There were two maintenance workers. The observation deck was open and that's about it. I hear it used to be great.

Tabatinga Residence offers warm suites with private balconies, providing a relaxed atmosphere for guests. The hotel features an outdoor pool, a gym, and dining options. The rooms are comfortable and include sea views, with apartment-style layouts featuring a room, kitchenette, and bathroom. While the hotel lacks beach chairs directly on the shore, it compensates with an on-site restaurant where guests can enjoy meals.
I stayed in room 221, with sea view. It is an apartment with a room, a little kitchen and bathroom. The room is very comfortable and the hotel has a good structure, but chairs are inside the hotel and not on the Beach. There is a restaurant there where you can have meals. The breakfast is not included when you reserve the room, but you can have it in that restaurant. The Beach is awesome.

(Translated by Google) I'm not a fan of this beach; I'll only go if it's the only option. It has a lot of seaweed, it's not clean at all, it doesn't have a proper beachfront with restrooms, kiosks, or bars. It's a forgotten beach that only has activity because of the beach houses. (Original) dessa praia eu nn sou fã, so vou se fot a unica opção, ela tem muito sargaço, não tem o mínimo de limpeza, não tem uma orla pra poder ter banheiros, quiosques, e bares tbm, é uma praia esquecida, que so tem movimento por causa das casas de praia

(Translated by Google) A beach with calm waters. The busiest area is the catamarans that bring tourists to the fort, and the speedboats that take them to the top of the plane. Otherwise, everything is very peaceful. Tourists can visit the fort and enjoy a good meal there. I recommend Sister Gicelia's restaurant, which offers free parking, as well as freshwater swimming and Wi-Fi. A well-organized beachside restaurant with clean bathrooms, attentive service, and well-prepared meals. The price is fair for the service they offer. I recommend spending the day there. (Original) Praia de águas tranquilas. O movimento maior por ai é dos catamarãs que trazem turistas ao forte, e as lanchas que levam os turistas até a coroa do avião. No mais tudo bem tranquilo.O turista poderá visitar o forte e fazer uma boa refeição por ai. Recomendo o restaurante da Irmã Gicelia, que é um restaurante que oferece estacionamento – sem cobrar –além de banho de água doce e wi-fi. Restaurante de beira de praia bem organizado, banheiros limpos, atendimento atencioso e refeições bem feitas. Preço justo pelo serviço que oferecem. Recomendo passar o dia por ai.

(Translated by Google) The beach is extremely polluted, there is a frightening amount of trash everywhere and many people leave more trash. In addition to the pollution in the water and sand, there is also noise pollution, a competition to see who can listen to the loudest music. I do not recommend it and I hope to never return. There are other beaches that deserve to be visited and enjoyed, but this one needs urgent help! (Original) A praia é extremamente poluída, tem uma quantidade de lixo assustadora por toda parte e muitas pessoas deixando mais lixo. Além da poluição na água e na areia tem a poluição sonora também, competição de quem escuta o som mais alto. Não recomendo e espero nunca mais voltar.

(Translated by Google) A beautiful and peaceful island. Access is by boat or raft from Itamaracá or Maria Farinha. The route is peaceful and the view is wonderful. There are bars on the island, hammocks in the sea and you can walk to the tip of the island. I suggest you take a look before choosing where to stay, the prices vary and the service is the same. We ordered the dish with fish and sides, on average R$100.00 and it was delicious. The beer was warm, but they put a cooler with ice on the table. We only started to receive good service after a complaint. I would go back and recommend it, except for this annoyance due to the competition between establishments on the beach. (Original) Ilha lindíssima e sossegada. O acesso é feito por barcos e jangadas saindo de Itamaracá ou Maria Farinha. O trajeto é tranquilo e o visual maravilhoso. Na Ilha existem bares, redes no mar e dá pra caminhar até a ponta da ilha. Sugiro que dê uma olhada antes de escolher onde ficar, os preços são diferentes e o atendimento idem. Pedimos o prato com peixe e acompanhamentos, média 100,00 e estava gostoso. A cerveja estava quente, mas colocaram um ispor com gelo na mesa. Só começamos a ser bem atendidos após uma reclamação. Voltaria e recomendo, tirando essa chateação por conta da disputa entre os estabelecimentos na praia.

(Translated by Google) The beach itself is a good option for those who are in Olinda or Recife and don't want to go to Porto de Galinhas to enjoy the beach. However, visitors need to be more careful. The water is clean and warm. This place is quieter because it is less crowded. It is 30 minutes from Olinda. (Original) A praia em si é uma boa opção para quem estiver em Olinda ou Recife e não quer ir até Porto de Galinhas para curtir uma praia. Porém, precisa de maior cuidado por parte dos frequentadores.

(Translated by Google) The beach is interesting, with no apparent signs of pollution. The problem lies in the infrastructure, which leaves a little to be desired and, depending on the time of day, the excessive number of people. The strong points are the service at the beach huts, which offer plentiful food at a gourmet price. It is worth negotiating the price and type of fish before ordering. (Original) A praia é interessante, sem sinais aparentes de poluição. O problema fica na infraestrutura que acaba deixando um pouco a desejar e dependendo do horário, a quantidade excessiva de pessoas. Os pontos fortes ficam no serviço das barraquinhas de praia, alimentação farta a um preço gurmerizado. Vale a pena negociar o valor do peixe e o tipo antes de fazer o pedido.

Art museum
Sights & Landmarks
Oficina Ceramica Francisco Brennand is a museum and workshop dedicated to the renowned Brazilian plastic artist, Francisco Brennand. The site was originally an old family pottery that the artist transformed into a temple of art, showcasing his own works since 1971. Visitors can explore nearly 2,000 pieces including ceramics, sculptures, and paintings primarily centered around themes like sexuality.
The place is amazing, the amount of incredible art pieces is astonishing. Entry fee 50R.
Sindulyi S — Google review
One of the most remarkable and interesting art galleries we have ever visited. Francisco Brennand must have been a weird, obsessive, wildly creative guy to conceive such an ambitious and extensive display of his work. The ceramic sculptures are creative and bizarre, mostly monochromatic and very imaginative. There are elements of Picasso, and Geiger. Some are quite creepy, some are strangely erotic. Even if you are not an art lover you will be blown away.

Centro Cultural Cais do Sertão is a modern museum located in Recife Antigo, serving as a celebration of the music of singer-composer Luiz Gonzaga and the culture of Northeastern Brazil. The museum, which was once old port warehouses, pays tribute to the stories of the Brazilian people. It offers an interactive experience about the Sertao and Luiz Gonzaga, making it one of the most beautiful cultural centers in South America.
I was alarmed that the building used to be an old disabled warehouse: it is completely beautiful! It's walking distance from the Marco Zero square and a nice place to bring children. They have all sorts of art installations (paintings, scenarios, sculptures, music, videos, etc) and interactive games to honor the people of Sertão Nordestino, specially in Pernambuco. There is also a tribute to Luiz Gonzaga, a famous Brazilian forró (and other genres) singer. A lot of volunteers work there and I think it's awesome to value your own culture. There is also a space for events if need to book one.
Graziella B — Google review
Nice and lovely museum. For Brazilian standards it is a very good museum. The collection is nice and it is nice you can try the different instruments of forro. This improves the understanding of the music significant and I liked it a lot, the music guy was explaining everything and even could speak English very well.

I went here years ago when it had just opened and it was GREAT. Now, years later, the place is falling apart. Literally half of the museum is ‘under maintenance’. The whole upper floor is closed, several exhibits are gone and the floor is full of holes. Very sad. Recife and Pernambuco, if you are proud of your culture and heritage (and you should be), invest in this museum and make it great again. Do it for Luiz!

This place was incredible, however multiple pieces were missing or under maintenance which made my experience a bit unpleasant. I still learned a lot about the "sertão", Pernambuco's country side affected by drought and their difficult life. I hope the maintenance ends soon so we can have access to the other parts of the museum.
Stella ( — Google review
It is a very interesting cultural space, particularly for Brazilians. It tells the story of Luiz Gonzaga, a famous 20th century singer and musician who took regional music to national and international audiences. Some of the audiovisual equipment is not working properly, but it is worth a visit. There is a small entrance fee.

Don’t use the guide tour, they are scammers! Old town feels like being abandoned with lots of homeless. Don’t feel very secure to walk around. Don’t use any guide tour! They said one hour walk tour, 50 BRL per person. During the tour, there was very little introduction and walking very fast to rush us, took us to shops so they get commission fee, but we actually don’t buy anything. And after finish, they asked 50% more, and insisted cash!!! We don’t want to risk our security since they are a bunch of guides around us and push us to pay! They are the scammers!

Have to admit, I was a little underwhelmed by certain parts of Recife, abandoned buildings and evident economic struggle; but not this place, apparently a lot of the money of the town went to whoever built this place. I was legit amazed by the collection of global art and artifacts that Mr. Brennand had accumulated. Huuge tapestries, ivory carved dioramas from asia, bottero sculptures, local art, and enough medieval suits of armor and weapons to hold off a small invading army; all housed in immaculately manicured gardens and enormous brick chapels and halls. If you have it, I appreciate the desire to let everyone else enjoy it also.

Simply incredible. Looks like a very European art museum in the middle of North East Brazil, and even though most of the artworks are replicas, it's surely worth visiting. Many expositions are hosted and the permanent collection is very beautiful. Fair price, no wait and absolutely the best art experience in Recife.
ALESSANDRO C — Google review
This is one of my favorite places to visit in Recife. The Brennand collection of weapons is fantastic and they certainly have a vast collection of art. My favorite time to go is during the week when it rains a little because there aren't as many people around so you can have a lot of time to yourself. Great architecture as well. This place is worth your time for sure.
Nephi B — Google review
The architecture is stunning but the gallery displays a lot of replicas and some originals. Most pieces don't have information on who made them or where, nor any historical context. The arms collection os really interesting but could also use some more information. Also, the ticket priced at R$50 makes it more expensive than most Brazilians can afford.
Stella ( — Google review
One of the best and most unique museums in the northeast of Brazil, if not all Brazil. A must-visit if you’re in the northeast! The Dutch tapestries and the history of the Dutch in Brazil is fascinating, as is a vast building filled with thousands of weapons from the last hundred years. Add in the stunning gardens filled with capybara and monkeys strolling around and playing and this truly is a memorable place to spend a few hours. Cafe and restaurant on site too. Entrance is $50 BRL.

Great place for souvenirs and local art. It is an old prison and each store is in one cell. Most stores sell items that you can find in other cells as well but some have exclusive items. A few vendors get a bit too pushy to get us inside their stores and it can get very warm inside the building too, but other than that it's a great experience.

A nice tourist spot for handicrafts or even getting a drink or snacks. It was originally a prison and each vendor occupies a prison cell, most of them are beautifully decorated.

(Translated by Google) A great place to escape the "concrete jungle" and reconnect with nature. A large area for walking, seeing the forest, and relaxing. There are restaurants, camping, restrooms, and cabins for rent. The reservoir was a great spot to stop and enjoy nature. (Original) Um bom local para sair da "selva de pedras" e se ligar a natureza. Área grande para caminhar, ver a mata e descansar. Tem restaurantes, área para acampar, banheiros, chalés para alugar. O açude foi um ponto que gostei bastante para parar e apreciar a natureza.

Beach
Nature & Parks
Boa Viagem Beach is a vibrant 7-mile stretch of sandy coastline in Recife, Brazil. The beach offers swimming areas protected by natural reefs, making it safe and enjoyable for visitors. A popular stop on tours combining Recife and Olinda, the beachfront at Boa Viagem is particularly lively on Sundays when locals flock to the shore. The area is known for its dense concentration of parasols and towering high-rise buildings that provide shade as the day progresses.
What a beauty 😍, awesome beach 🏖️ to spend a Quality Sunday. I was there for around 8 hours, you can have drinks, some food items and enjoy the sea views. Ample parking space outside. Wheelchair track is there to access the beach . Can get a taxi to and fro to the city. Of course, the crowd is making it more enjoyable 😃. And Thanks to nature for such a beautiful creation.

Beautiful beach as it has calm and strong waves! Great for kids ! Also known as Piscinas! Lovely walk and reasonable prices to rent seats and umbrella. Average 10 or 15 reas.

Beautiful! Great beach, and location. Was urged not to swim, as there are sharks(story behind this) so really only went in water at low tide when the reef keeps a pool you can swim in
Todd B — Google review
Nice beach ⛱️🏖️ However, there is only water, sand, big buildings and some palm trees. Nothing special if you like really nice views. But if you like sun, sand and warm water, that's a good place to be.
Diego H — Google review
The high tale is around noon, so the best time to take advantage of the natural pools that are shark safe is the early morning. Once you are in pleamar, huge sections of the beach disappear under the water, but you will still have plenty of areas with a wide strip of sand. If you consume anything, you so not have to pay for the umbrellas and the chairs.

Beautiful beach, however unsafe to swim due to the sharks. There are not a lot of warning signs.
F. N — Google review
I prefered over Porto de Galinhas for a nice long walk where you can have wide shore, uninterrupted by "tourism" and view of the sea and shore without kiosks.

Boa Viagem is an urban beach located in Recife. Unfortunately known for accidents with Sharks, it is a very good beach to spend the day, on the beach out of the water. If you go, go early, as the sun sets early on the beach due to the large buildings that hide the sun from 3 pm onwards.

(Translated by Google) Users who come to this beach must be careful with the tide and also with the rocks. The good thing about this beach is that food is affordable and not expensive.

(Translated by Google) The beach is very far away and has a terrible dirt road. We thought it would be a primitive beach with little commercialism. Nothing like that. Crowded with chairs and tents, very commercial. It wasn't worth the experience... (Original) Praia muito longe e com um caminho de estrada de terra horrível. Achamos que seria uma praia primitiva e pouco comercial. Nada disto. Lotada de cadeiras e barracas, muito comercial. Não valeu a experiência...

Calhetas Beach

Mentioned on

Beach
Nature & Parks
Calhetas Beach is a picturesque cove with a small sandy shoreline surrounded by lush greenery and clear, turquoise waters. It's part of the southern coast of Pernambuco, known for its natural beauty and warm crystal waters. Visitors can enjoy buggy rides through the beaches in the region, including Cabo de Santo Agostinho and Calhetas, as well as catamaran rides through Paraiso and French beaches.
There you can ride on a boat, swim on the sea and although the waves are very strong is good both for kids and elderly people.

Calhetas beach is the best beach to go near the city of Recife. There it is possible to dive without risks and spend the day. Very calm and pleasant.

A nice little gem about a small hour driving south from Recife. A nice place to hang out for a day. Enjoy some simple food and take a swim at one of the small but beautiful beaches. Plenty of selfie opportunities up or in between the many rocks next to the beach. A perfect place to just relax or hang out with some friends.
Koenraad B — Google review
It's a small beach with a zip wire and other sport activities. The road is not good to reach there by car. I estimate that the bus stop it's about 20-30 minn walk

Muro Alto Beach is a stunning destination in Brazil, known for its luxurious condominiums and resorts. The calm waters, thanks to the large reef formation, create a natural pool surrounded by coconut trees and mangroves. Visitors can enjoy swimming, boating, jet-skiing, sailing boat trips, and kayaking. The area also offers opportunities for sports activities. Additionally, the beach is close to other beautiful beaches like Maracaipe and Porto de Galinhas.
Very cosy and nice beach Nice rocks Some services ( but not so much as at Porto de Galinhas)

Great view...on the refinery. It's full of plastic and petrol residue. Water fills like a rotten soup. To complete, tens of buildings under construction right on the beach. Such a shame. It could be such a beautiful place

Excellent beach! It is beautiful blue sea. In addition, the water temperature is very warm and the wave is very calm. We can be here during the day.

Very beautiful beach, only this beach is more dirty than the beaches in the south. There is a lot of plastic carbage here. Also the current is strong.

Very beautiful beach. With natural pools and warm water. The accees to the beach is somewhat hard, lots of buildings on the way. Parking lot is reasonable, but food at beach restaurants is expensive. The view and nature make it woth visiting. You can try the food carts or stands along the beach, they are way too delicious than the food at the restaurants and they are cheap :)
