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.

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.

The Cabo Branco Station - Science, Culture and Arts is a must-visit museum in Joao Pessoa, Brazil. Designed by the renowned architect Oscar Niemeyer, it opened in 2008 and offers a fascinating free tour with the option to explore exhibitions. The station also features a planetarium that visitors can enter for free. Situated near the Cabo Branco Lighthouse, this iconic landmark marks the easternmost point of the Americas where the sun rises first on its beaches.
A great place. You can see art, culture and technology.

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.

Located at the easternmost point of the Americas, the Cabo Branco Lighthouse is a 1972 winged structure that offers breathtaking panoramic views. It symbolizes the extremity of the continent and is where the sun rises first in South America. Visitors can enjoy stunning vistas of the lighthouse, Solon de Lucena Park, Tambau Beach, and even experience an evening serenade to Ravel's Bolero at Praia do Jacare.
Tourist attraction with kiosks all around selling things. Nice lighthouse and surrounding area. There is not that much to see, but it worth going to once. Technically the most eastern point in all of the hemisphere/Americas.

It's a super important spot, the very oriental point of the American continent and unfortunately its kind of abandoned. There's a park with some very tourist shop... nothing special. I think local government should take care of that important spot of the continent.

Nestled within an impressive complex, it includes the Church and Convent of Santo Antonio, along with several chapels and a charming cloister. Visitors can admire intricate gilded details and ornate structures that reflect the rich history of this cultural site. Originally dedicated to St. Anthony, its name evolved over time but remains steeped in tradition.

A massive church that is gorgeous inside. For an entry fee of R$15 (R$7.50 for students and elderly), one receives a private guided tour (in English, Spanish, or Portuguese) where someone working in the church walks you through each of the rooms, explains the history, and shows you around. Besides the altar and the main room, one also gets to see the chapel, the sacristy, exhibition space, the cloister, the chorus, and many other rooms. It was truly such a cool experience to see the different styles with many baroque elements.

Giramundo has two locations in Joao Pessoa, one in Tambau and another in Cabo Branco, both offering a lively seaside atmosphere with live music and great service.

I ordered the individual shrimp (with rice and French fries) and a caipirinha. The shrimp was over-cooked, the fries very oily, and caipirinha not balanced.

I didn’t really enjoy the meal but thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere.

This is a typical beach bar for Joao Pessoa, albeit a little larger and cleaner than many. They offer a decent variety of food items and have a full bar and some decent wines at good prices (that you don’t find at many beach bars here). They have live music and are open until 1AM (they only open in the evening, after 6 PM). A nice option for drinks before retiring to your hotel.

An interesting park filled with many different species of endemic and endangered animals. It has a small entry fee of BR$3 (cash only). The first part are cages filled with animals, while after walking for about a kilometer, one arrives at a small pond with food stalls. Overall, it's not too big, but it is a cool place to visit to see some animals.
James — Google review
It is a really cool place and I had fun but there are few animals and it's reforming so I couldn't go to some places there
Juliana — Google review
I am so torn on these places. On one hand, all of the animals have been rescued from illegal trades, so they have been given a second chance on life. The problem is that some of the enclosures are small and the animals don't seem to have stimulation. I saw quite a few animals walking around in circles and clearly not well mentally. Having said that, a nice place to see animals and learn about different species.
Dylan — Google review
Interesting and a full-on jungle for lots of it but very little actual information on the animals and no information at all on the flora. A local biologist/conservationist did say part of the redecoration process is to produce better flyers for the above mentioned. Well worth a visit for the beautiful experience and place - especially if the massive bird cage with macaws is open for you to walk through. Parking is free but the usual suspects (flanelinhas) Will be there to help you "maneuver" and expect a Real coin from you

Best spot in Joao Pessoa. Really good prices for the amount of food you get. Each day has a special deal and the crab and prawn days are worth it. All the food is really good. Fried prawns, different main dishes with prawns or chicken etc. The only thing that wasn’t that good was the beef as it was quite dry and so what’s tough

Disappointing service today. Group of 5 people, 4 plates made it out. 5th plate took over 28 minutes to arrive out for last guest. Never seen something like that that the restaurant brought all other meals first and then waited so long for last person. To top it off we were running late to another appointment and 5th guest had to take meal to go. Finally eating now and steak is rare rather than medium well. Seems like they did intentionally. Restaurant did nothing to correct meal coming out so late. Disappointing.

Great drinks with good prices. The small amount of food we tried was great. The staff was very attentive and kind. Very interesting that they close between 6:30pm and 8pm to get ready for the show. Leaves people out wandering the center. But the sunset here is a must if you want a drink and a snack. Will return for more in the future.

(Original) O Café das Letras conta com um grande acervo nas diversas áreas do pensamento humano, de Platão a Quadrinhos. Onde também se pode apreciar e degustar diversas especiarias do gênero alcóolico, mas não somente, pois também conta com um rico sortimento de cafés. Além do excepcional atendimento atencioso do proprietário Patativa (Escritor, entre outros), sempre disposto a solucionar qualquer problema da vida humana. Não podemos esquecer da agradabilissima companhia dos presentes.

(Translated by Google) A new used bookstore appears in our city. With a rich collection of philosophy and literature titles, Café das Letras has specialized service from the owner Patativa, who really understands books and is a great intellectual in the areas of theology and philosophy. Just go there and you can feel the vibe of the place. A point of support also for tourists as it is possible to buy drinks, have a coffee or even chat! I recommend!!! (Original) Uma nova livraria de usados surge em nossa cidade. Com um acervo rico em títulos de filosofia e literatura, o Café das Letras tem o atendimento especializado do proprietário Patativa, que realmente entende de livro e é um grande intelectual nas áreas de teologia e filosofia. Só passando lá pra você sentir o astral do lugar. Um ponto de apoio também pra os turistas uma vez que é possível comprar uns drinks, tomar um café ou mesmo jogar conversa fora! Recomendo!!!

(Translated by Google) A unique bookstore, rich in culture and underground, with lots of good music, records, shots of gin and coffee. The service is great, friendly and attentive. The customers are also easygoing and fun people. (Original) Uma livraria diferenciada, rica em cultura e underground, muita música boa, discos, doses de gim e café. O atendimento é ótimo, querido e amigável. Os frequentadores também são pessoas tranquilas e divertidas.

(Translated by Google) These nightclubs in Jampa are rubbish!! There is almost never a have!! People just don't interact!! It's all boiled down to little groups! The bands cut the atmosphere even more!! For those who are alone and like to hang out, it's really boring! The guy has to be a hero!! (Original) Essas casas noturnas de Jampa são um lixo !! Quase nunca tem have !! A galera simplismente n interage !! Fica tudo resumido a grupinhos ! As bandas cortam o clima mais ainda !! Pra quem é sotero e gosta de curti um rolé é bem chatu ! O cara tem q ser heroi !!
