The local experience
A cove of warm, clear water surrounded by cliffs, where dolphins often appear early in the morning. Access is on foot along the beach, only at low tide.
It got its name (Love Beach) from the heart shape seen from above and is popular with surfers. Staircases between the cliffs lead down to the sand.
A plateau of reddish earth on top of the cliffs, with a wide view of the whole coast. A traditional spot for sunsets and photos in Pipa.
A calm, green, warm sea, ideal for a first surf lesson and for stand-up paddleboarding. It lies between the forest and the cliffs, reached by a trail or staircase.
A large lagoon surrounded by mangroves, the starting point for boat and kayak trips. It is a good place to watch the sun set over the water.
A barely developed beach where the Catu River meets the sea, good for people looking for peace and quiet. The river crossing is made by boat.
The village sits on top of the cliff, between the lagoon and the sea, with an old church and viewpoints along the streets. The central beach has calm water sheltered by a reef.
