All the beaches in Pipa are regulated by the tides, as it varies a lot along the day. In the morning, the tide is low and the beaches are wide. In particular, this beach Praia do Amor gets really wide and nice. You can walk all the way from one extreme to the other, and you can also get to Praia das Minas, which is right beside this one. Then, depending on the day, the tide starts coming up and the beach gets narrower. There are some beach bars where you can stay and grab a sun umbrella and loungers all day, and even have lunch and drinks there. The water is very wavy, it's quite dangerous, it's not advisable to go in the water far from the coast. This beach is also called 'Praia dos afogados', which means 'beach of the drowned', meaning a lot of people died there in the water.The access from the street is going down a cliff, so it's a little difficult for the elder or for moms with babies. If you go with kids, be careful with the water!
nice place to go for a walk along the beach at low tide. There are several pools that are lovely to hang out in. THe beach bars are all good. Nice furniture which they do not charge for and surprisingly big portions, both food and drinks. Very nice fruit juices.
lo que me gusto es la temperatura calida del agua,pero hay muchas piedras en la playa y como hay mucho cambio de marea,no es dificil que te lastimes cuando por la subida del agua no las vez al meterte en el mar
very nice, special for learning surf and surfing, it is very close to the central area, however, you might bear in mind that the stairs leading to the beach (at least the public ones) can be quite steep and dangerous, not suitable for eldery people or little kids.
It's pretty, not too busy, but Madeiro beach is the winner, less busy and easier to swim, also prettier.
Not great for swimmers - very strong currentss and rips, so best to walk around the point to the left ti Pipa Beach to swim... There are a few stairs, but not bad unless you have mobility issues... More of a party beach for young folks than the others in the area... I didn't see good waves for surfing, ut the wind was strong onshore, so it was mush and better for kite surfing... With right wind and tide and swell I'm sure the surf can be good for there were a lot of surfers there...
This is a great beach, great views, and great water. Makes absolutely any occasion an outstanding memory. You won´t be dissapointed
Una muy linda playa, amplia, agua cálida y transparente y con varios paradores en donde se come bien y atienden muy bien.No es recomendable para gente mayor, las escaleras te sacan las ganas de volver, pero el paisaje es hermoso
Bonita praia, com excelente estrutura de bar/restaurantes para receber os visitantes. Vale a pena conhecer.
and very beautiful beach also. You have some stairs to reach the beach but it worth the effort...Not so big waves for surf.
