With just over 130 km ( 80 miles) in length, the coast of Paraíba is made up of colorful cliffs, dense vegetation, lookouts and stunningly beautiful beaches that impress even the most demanding tourists. Following our purpose to explore and promote Brazilian nature, The 10 best beaches in Paraíba.
The 10 best beaches in Paraíba
1 – Praia da Ilha Vermelha (Red Island Beach) – João Pessoa
Praia Vermelha is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful in all of Paraíba. The place is, in fact, a sandbank with a reddish color that forms at low tide.
And if you think that the fact that the beach is literally in the middle of the ocean means that the place does not have the minimum infrastructure, you are very wrong. There are food and drink stalls like on any other beach. The only difference is that when the tide rises again and covers the sandbar, the entire structure of the island comes to the ground and the boats return to the shore.
2 – Praia de Tabatinga ( Tabatinga Beach) – Conde
At Praia de Tabatinga there is almost no movement or structure – so it is important to take some fruit or water to explore the place without any problems, however its beautiful beach compensates for any adversity, which for lovers of ecotourism and trails is not a problem.
3 – Praia de Coqueirinho ( Coqueirinho Beach) – Conde
Em formato de enseada, a Praia do Coqueirinho oferece aos visitantes águas calmas e quentinhas que fazem qualquer um se esquecer de todo ou qualquer problema. Além disso você pode chegar até ela saindo da Praia de Tabatinga em uma caminhada de 3 km, bem como por um passeio de bugue.
A Praia do Coqueirinho possui uma excelente infraestrutura e não só está como entre as melhores Praias da Paraíba, como também é uma das mais bonitas do Brasil.
4 – Praia Bela (Beautiful Beach)- Pitimbu
Praia Bela is known for its tranquility and its many natural attractions. The sea is slightly agitated and has warm and transparent waters, suitable not only for bathing but also for water sports such as kitesurfing and sailing.
The surrounding forest is native and preserved – which makes the place even more beautiful. The infrastructure there is very good and has, among other things, several options of bars and restaurants serving the best of local cuisine.
5 – Praia de Cabo Branco (Cabo Branco Beach) – João Pessoa
Considered the most beautiful urban beach in João Pessoa, Praia de Cabo Branco has a beautiful infrastructure that contrasts harmoniously with the surrounding green area. The sea does not have very strong waves and is suitable for swimming. If you are looking for peace and quiet, our tip is to stay at the end of the beach, on the south side, where there are few people and a scenery that is undeniably emotional.
6 – Praia do Poço ( Poço Beach) – Cabedelo
If you think you need to travel to the Caribbean to see a sea worthy of film productions, you are very wrong. There are identical beaches here and one of them is Praia do Poço. In addition to a magnificent color, the sea is super calm and suitable for swimming.
It is from Praia do Poço that the tour boats leave for Ilha Vermelha.
7 – Praia Barra de Camaratuba (Barra de Camaratuba Beach) – Mataraca
Located in the extreme north of Paraíba, more precisely in a fishing village, Praia Barra de Camaratuba is a charm in itself. To get to know this region better, a good option is to rent the good old buggy. Thus, it is possible to discover other parts of the beach, such as dunes and mangroves.
8 – Praia do Jacaré ( Jacaré Beach) – Cabedelo
