Pipa, the secret beach in Brazil

Wednesday, May 13th, 2009

I had always thought there couldn’t be any place as good as Rio de Janeiro or Bahia all over Brazil. I was wrong.

Near Natal, a colorful village is hidden, plenty of live and quite during daytime, that’s what gives it all its charm.
A lot of foreign decided to live there for a while in order to stay away from big cities and their noise.

To go out, there is a large choice of restaurants to eat and a large amount of bars will welcome you with some music.

Pipa’s beaches are “Praia do Madeiro”, “la Bahia dos Golphinos”, “la Praia Central”, where most of people go.

My favorite one is “la Bahia dos Golphinos” (Dolphins’ bay).
As you should already have guess, it is common to see dolphins playing near swimmers. It will give an amazing feeling.
Moreover, the beach is huge, its sand is soft and the beach end up with wild vegetation.

ADVICE

If you are a woman and feel like buying a Brazilian bikini, I would tell you not doing it. Actually, they don’t use Brazilian bikinis but small pieces of fabric joined with string… :-) .

A lot of night parties are going on around « la Prai de Amor », in the middle of palm-trees. These parties are unsurpassed.

CURIOSITY

In « la Praia da Minas », huge turtles get together when it’s time to lay eggs in orders to dig them into sand.

The Bossa Nova” is a kind of music, which usually goes with a guitar, drums and percussion instruments. Elis Regina and Gilberto Gil are some of the artists that have popularized this beat.

Everyone can find one´s pleasure: A part is made of pebbles and another of fine sand. This beach is alive; there are plenty of snack-bars, refreshment area, restaurants open day and night.
Brazilians dancers give a show on the beach some summer Sundays.

La cala Vadella (West of Ibiza)

It’s one of the most picturesque. To get to the bay, you will need to get down through an ill of pine-wood ending with fine and white sand and crystalline water. There is another to reach this creek.

@ MnGyver

It’s quite tricky to reach it through the ill. It’s advised to not take this way with children or physical difficulties. The way from the parking place to the beach is short but the stares in between aren’t easy to access.

Sa Caleta (South of Ibiza)

It’s located on the east of La cala Jondal. It’s a popular creek which full from early in the morning. It’s not a place quiet, but the landscape is characteristic. With orange rocks all around, no wind can reach this creek.
It’s a man-made beach. Some years ago, we covered it with sand and we took rocks off from the coast to transform it as we can see nowadays.
