Cupe Beach
Praia do Cupe
A long, straight stretch of sand north of Porto de Galinhas village, lined with coconut palms and resort hotels, with shallow pools among the rocks at low tide.
Cupe Beach lies about 3 km north of Porto de Galinhas village. It is a broad stretch of sand roughly 5 km long, lined with rows of coconut palms and dotted with large resort hotels and apartment buildings. It is quieter than the beach in the village center. At low tide, shallow pools form between the reefs near shore and can be reached on foot, which makes them good for children to wade in. At high tide the waves are somewhat bigger, suiting strolls and morning runs. Its northern end meets Muro Alto, and the two can be linked on foot or by bike along the beach. Access is free, and some sections have beach bars offering loungers and drinks. From the village center it is about 10 minutes by taxi.
