Paraíba has one of the smallest strips of sand on the Brazilian coast, but its landscape diversity overcomes this. The last beach frontier in the south of the state, bordering Pernambuco, has yet to be optimized for tourism. The lodging and restaurant options.
Summer travelers should pay attention to this name: Pitimbu (60 km from João Pessoa). The small town, occupied by just over 19 thousand inhabitants, transforms in the high season when it receives groups of visitors from the border state.
Its population has tripled thanks, above all, to the presence of Pernambuco's neighbors, leaving Goiana (30 km) and Recife (100 km). Many of them have summer houses on the beaches there.
Outside the holidays, Pitimbu is usually synonymous with peace, an almost untouched paradise. There you can take a boat trip towards the natural pools of Farol or the neighboring (and even more preserved) Branca do Curral.
The pools are located between 1.5 km and 3 km from the coast, and it takes 20 to 30 minutes to arrive there.
Tours for three people, which include fish with mush, made on land, heated and served in the middle of the waters by the fisherman, cost from R$ 120.
