Beautiful Sandy Beaches

Paraíba's coastline features a diverse range of shorelines, from the calm, shallow waters of Camboinha and Formosa in the north to the dramatic red sandstone cliffs of Pitimbu in the south. This selection includes the protected manatee habitat at Barra do Mamanguape, the natural river-sea meeting point at Praia Bela, and Tambaba, Brazil's first official nudist beach. Visitors can explore secluded stretches like Praia da Baleia or the historic surroundings of the Santa Catarina Fortress.
