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.
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.
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.
This place is really beautiful and charming Come by the sun set and you will by able to hear Ravel's Bolero The sound and the sight comes together and make it a magic place There are many shopping and eating There are bars and restaurants You can go on the boat to see the sun set
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.
Best place to watch the sunset over the Rio Paraíba! There is a saxaphone player on the river at sunset! Lots of small merchants and places to eat.
Amazing Place. Best Sunset view...
The most beautiful sunset in the Sertão.

(Translated by Google) Good service, quiet place with good meals, price compatible with the seaside (Original) Bom atendimento, lugar sossegado com boa refeições, preço compatível com beira mar
(Translated by Google) The food is very good, but it takes a while, the view is very beautiful. (Original) A comida é muito boa, mas demora um pouco, a vista é muito bonita.
(Translated by Google) clean beach, without many waves, due to the coral reef. I loved the place! (Original) praia limpa, sem muitas ondas, devido a barreira de corais. Amei o lugar!

Great Ducth fortress. I saw a play there and it was great.
An important historical landmark left alone without proper maintenance and signs. No timeline, no guided stations with written information, rusting cannons, grass all over the place, dirt and solid residues in the back. Tickets sell for R$2 a person (US$ 0.30) which obviously don't cover basic costs. No companies sponsor the site although it is next door neighbor to Petrobras and the Port of Cabedelo. It is a must visit place in a dismal condition.
The only vestige of the Portuguese military presence in this area from the 17th century, if you are in the area and like history, it’s worth a visit. Unfortunately, there is almost no information about the history of the structure or the few displays within it, and the fort is not complete (one point of the star-shaped fort appears to have been demolished to accommodate the neighboring Port of Cabedelo).
Its a good place tô know histiric moments on Brazil. The runter of whale. You can take good pictures.
A beautiful place and important in Brazilian history, unfortunately hasn't been in good conditions, guess it's die to the pandemic
There is no much big interesting items inside. The architecture is 'okay'.
Nice place... it's necessary pay 2R$ to get in with guide or not.

Beautiful experience, possible to enjoy with 1 year old baby. Good service of snacks and drinks.
Careful with the scam! One of the boats that stay in the island selling drinks and food added an extra zero when charging my debit card. They ask you to check the amount, then they distract you, and hand you the card machine for the password. Luckily I saw the printed copy, and stayed there until they returned me the money. My bill was BRL 50 and they charged me 500.02. First they guy insisted it was 2 cents only, then he said the machine had a problem and it was the second time that happened that day, then he blamed me for putting the extra zero. He said he had no cash to give me back, and only after 30 min he finally made a payment to my bank account. I wonder how many people fall for this every day. It’s a small boat, white and blue. The name of the establishment in the receipts is Maria Liege Ferreira Duarte, however the boat has no identification. Photo of the boat attached.
Nice place for a one time visit, the boat ride and water were calm. We visited on a week day and the beach was not crowded nor the boat we were on. I did see another boat from lucky travel arrive that was very crowded.
Awesome. Worth seeing it

(Translated by Google) I tasted the best chestnuts I've ever eaten: caramelized with cheese and guava paste. I had never seen it before and I loved it! I recommend! There are chestnut tastings, snacks and cachaça. (Original) Provei a melhor castanha que já comi: caramelizada com queijo e goiabada. Nunca tinha visto e adorei! Recomendo! Há degustação de castanhas, petiscos, cachaça.
(Translated by Google) Casa Nordeste, in Cabedelo - PB, has an interesting proposal, with rustic decor and a themed environment that refers to the northeastern culture. The menu includes well-prepared typical dishes, but the service can be a little slow during peak hours. The cost-benefit ratio is reasonable, although some dishes may seem a little expensive for what they offer. Overall, it is a worthwhile experience, but there are points for improvement. (Original) A Casa Nordeste, em Cabedelo - PB, tem uma proposta interessante, com decoração rústica e ambiente temático que remete à cultura nordestina. O cardápio conta com pratos típicos bem preparados, mas o atendimento pode ser um pouco demorado em horários de pico. A relação custo-benefício é razoável, embora alguns pratos possam parecer um pouco caros pelo que oferecem. No geral, é uma experiência válida, mas com pontos a melhorar.
(Translated by Google) Unfortunately my experience was not positive! The ingredients and preparation of the tapioca leave a lot to be desired. For the amount charged it is not justifiable. The juice was ok and at an affordable price for the region. (Original) Infelizmente minha experiência não foi positiva! Os ingredientes e o preparo da tapioca deixam muito a desejar. Pelo valor cobrado não é justificável. O suco estava ok e com preço acessível para região.
(Translated by Google) I was well attended to, ate well (simple food) and at a fair price! I have nothing to complain about. (Original) Fui bem atendido, comi bem (comida simples) e com preço justo! Não tenho nada a reclamar.
(Translated by Google) Excellent... The chestnut tasting needs no comments, I recommend the visit Casa Nordeste is spread across the Northeast and also specializes in Exotic Delicacies and drinks that will make your visit to beautiful João Pessoa something unforgettable. (Original) Excelente... A degustação de castanhas dispensa comentários, recomendo a visita A Casa Nordeste está espalhada pelo Nordeste e também se especializa em Iguarias Exóticas e bebidas que vão tornar sua visita à bela João Pessoa algo inesquecível.
(Translated by Google) I asked them to pack 2 kilos of nuts divided into packages of + or - 300 grams/each as I would take them to SP as souvenirs. They said I should take what was packaged (250 g packages from a few days ago and with a price on the label). I insisted that I would like them to pack what was freshest and without price (2 men had just ordered the same thing and were served). They must hate women because with me it was NO, NO is NO. I felt cornered, I took the packages and paid. When I realized the situation I was in, I asked for the card to be refunded and was almost beaten. I won't be back. Sell ​​it to males and keep the nuts for yourselves. (Original) Pedi que embalassem 2 quilos de castanhas divididos em pacotes de + ou - 300 gramas/cada pois levaria pra SP como lembrancinhas. Disseram que eu deveria levar o que estava embalado ( pacotes de 250 g de dias atrás e com preco na etiqueta). Insisti que gostaria que embalassem o que estava mais fresco e sem preço ( 2 homens haviam acabado de pedir a mesma coisa e foram atendidos). Devem odiar mulheres pq comigo foi NÃO, NÃO é NÃO. Me senti acoada, peguei os pacotes e paguei. Quando percebi a situação em que estava, pedi o estorno do cartão e quase apanhei. Não volto mais. Vendam pra machos e fiquem com as castanhas pra vocês.
(Translated by Google) Very cozy and affordable place. One of the best tapioca I've ever eaten in my life. You can sit down, feel the beautiful atmosphere of the place, enjoying tapioca, nuts or a drink of your choice. (Original) Lugar muito aconchegante e de valor acessível. Uma das melhores tapiocas que já comi na minha vida. Da pra sentar, sentir a atmosfera Linda do lugar, degustando uma tapioca, castanhas ou uma bebida do seu gosto.
(Translated by Google) I went with my son when we were cycling in the area and even after hours, they served us to sell us water and I ended up buying a series of other products. It is a paradise of things from our land, from Chinese cavaco to top-quality cachaça, it has everything. Clean, organized. Special mention goes to Raquel's service. (Original) Fui com meu filho quando estávamos pedalando na área e mesmo fora do horário, nos atenderam pra nos vender água e acabei ainda levando uma série de outros produtos. É um paraíso de coisas da nossa terra, do cavaco chinês à cachaça de primeira, tem de tudo. Limpo, organizado. Destaque para o atendimento de Raquel.
