Tambaú
Tambaú
João Pessoa is blessed with one of the most attractive urban beaches of Brazil: Tambaú and its continuation Cabo Branco to the south. Large stretches are virtually deserted, and you can walk all the way to Ponta das Seixas.
Picãozinho
From the north end of the Cabo Branco beach, there are a number of boats that will take you out to Picãozinho a reef with good snorkelling or Areia Vermelha a sandy patch offshore for about R$ 25. Both destinations depend on low tide, so hours vary greatly. Drinks and snacks are sold on the boats.
