Madeiro Beach
Praia do Madeiro
A quiet bay north of Pipa with gentle waves, ideal for learning to surf; dolphins and sea turtles are often seen, and there is a clifftop viewpoint.
Madeiro Beach lies about 3 km north of Pipa town. This crescent bay is framed by green sea cliffs and has gentle waves, making it Pipa's best beach for swimming and learning to surf, with surf schools renting out boards. Dolphins often swim close in the early morning, and sea turtles are occasionally seen. Steps lead down from the clifftop viewing platform to the beach, and they are fairly steep. A few beach bars operate on the sand. At low tide you can walk along the shore to Dolphin Bay.
