Praia Da Pipa

Reviewed By wandasena

Pipa beach is in Rio Grande do Norte state, approximately 1,200 km from Salvador by highway BR 101 or you can go by plane to Natal airport with a duration of 1 hour and 30 minutes in a direct flight. From the airport to Pipa beach it is approximately 80 km. The characteristic is the junction between imposing dunes superimposed on the horizon above the cliffs that end in geomorphologically alive by the action of the sea and winds; It was discovered in the 1970s, when a group of surfers discovered and they began to frequent the beaches of the municipality, attracting more and more people from all over the world. In Pipa beach, you can shop in stores, drive a buggy and visit the beautiful beaches, the most popular is Curral Beach, also known as Dolphin Bay. You can arrine there by boat rides, or walk along the beach. It was splendid to visit Pipa. I had the opportunity to see the dolphins and the evening stroll through the village. I drove with my family and stayed at the Marajoara Inn. Pipa beach is a very good, quiet and safe place. The bad thing is to get to the beaches, because you have to go down stairs, because of the cliffs. Curral Beach Staircase has approximately 130 steps. It is worth visiting this place, as it is one of the coastal paradise of Brazil. I Highly recommend without fear of making mistake.

Go to one of the 'kiosko', park just on their backside (free, don't let parking assistants on the road fool you saying there is no parking there), grab a table between the hammocks, order an ice cold beer and some local food - you're in paradise

Madeiro Beach

Reviewed By 2205_Vitoria

Madeiro Beach was our favorite beach in Pipa. Located a little bit outside the city center, this beach combines exuberant nature and tourist structure. One must climb down some big stairs to get to the beach, but it’s worth it! We have been there two different days, and saw plenty of dolphins both times. Amazing! There are also many stands that offer places to seat and relax, serving food and beverages. The sea is calm and great for a swim.
