Things to see and do João Pessoa

The beaches of João Pessoa, less known than those of the other north-eastern states, are no less beautiful.

The beach bars and kiosks are located in Tambaú. If you walk along the pavement, you will reach Cabo Branco, a quieter and nicer beach for swimming. From Tambaú there are boat trips to the quieter beaches in the area.

Praia do Seixas, 13 km from João Pessoa, is the easternmost point of the continent: Africa is only a few thousand kilometres away.

You can also try Pitimbu and its tormented coconut trees.

They date from 1590, but were completed in 1783. Different styles, therefore. Beautiful Portuguese tiles from the 18th century and pieces of sacred art from the 17th to 19th centuries. This architectural ensemble is one of the most remarkable baroque ensembles in Brazil. We will appreciate the church of São Francisco and the convent of Santo Antônio, the chapel of the Third Order of São Francisco, the chapel of São Benedito, the house of prayer, called golden chapel.
