Pipa Beach

Praia da Pipa

A resort-village beach beneath red-brown sea cliffs. It is one of the most popular beaches in northeastern Brazil, with lively nightlife.

Pipa is a seaside village in Tibau do Sul, about 80 km from Natal. Once a fishing village, it is now known for its colorful sea cliffs, emerald water and backpacker atmosphere. The central beach, Praia do Centro, is dense with boats and restaurants. On either side lie Dolphin Bay, Madeiro Beach and Love Beach, some of which can only be reached on foot along the coast at low tide. The main street is lined with restaurants and bars, and the nightlife is lively. It can be visited as a day trip, but staying one or two nights is recommended. Watch for falling rocks from the cliffs, and do not linger beneath them.
