Praia Da Pipa

Introducing Praia Da Pipa

Pipa rivals Jericoacoara as the Northeast’s hippest beach town, with a strongly international feel. It boasts pristine beaches backed by tall cliffs, decent surfing, dolphin-filled waters, a decent selection of restaurants, some upscale boutiques and good nightlife. Just another small, roadless, fishing village when discovered by surfers in the 1970s, it has changed beyond recognition since then and now attracts partiers from Natal, João Pessoa, Recife and beyond at holiday times and weekends. But don’t let the weekend noise and the bright lights along the main drag fool you; a laid-back vibe still dominates Pipa, which is considered by locals to be a ‘global village.’
