Pipa is an amazing place to stay a few days relaxing and walking around the beaches, or even enjoying the little city center at night (which I believe can be really crowded at the high season). All the bay is surrounded by beautiful cliffs with a nice sightseeing from the top, the beaches are a walking distance from each other,... More

A white sand beach where locals like to come and enjoy low tide waters. Water is warm and quiet, but the beach becomes smaller when high tide comes.

Pipa is surrounded by different types of beaches with different attractions, be it dolphin watching, sandboard, or even laying like a lizard under the sun. Very small, cozy, only brick or dirt roads, you hear so much Spanish walking around that you might think you're in Argentina! A couple of interesting restaurants complement the great fun and relaxation.

The tide is suprising, with the shape of the beach changing a lot depending on the hour you go. There are some OK tables at the beach to order a caipirinha, a beer or another drink, with some good finger food to taste.

pipa is just so rad. Natal is ok....but pipa is laid back and quaint, yet big enough that there is a great party scene...especially saturday and sundays. Street parties, samba, that martial art dance thing ....good times

The water is so warm and the rockpools are fun for the kids with lots of fishes and octopus too. You could spend hours in the pools caughting the sun
