Pipa is a beautiful city located on the state of Rio Grande do Norte, in Brazil. This city is well known for its beautiful coastline with amazing beaches (some of them are a paradise for surfers), great food (the typical Brazilian dish “picanha,” barbecue meet served with rice, black beans, and farofa; “bobo de camarao” a beautiful dish with shrimp; local grilled fish; and a lot of sweet deserts), amazing drinks (caipirinha, a drink with lime and cachaca; caipiroska, a drink with lime and vodka; caipifruta, a drink with cachaca and any tropical fruit you choose), art crafts (a lot of jewelry made of coconut and watermelon dry seeds).
During your stay, visit Natal, only ninety kilometers away and enjoy a day tour to the famous dunes of Genipabu. The tour on the dunes are with a local guide that drives the buggy along the dunes -– in this tour you can do a lot of activities like sand boarding and “skibunda” -- a slide on a sand dune that ends in the water (you will have lots of fun). It's an amazing tour that you can easily book in Pipa, and it's a good value for money.
In Pipa, try not to miss the beaches, with amazing scenery -- Pipa Beach (main beach, with more flat water), Dolphin Bay (most of the time you can check dolphins swimming around), Love Beach (it's called like that because of its heart shape), and Madeiro Beach (most of people say it's the most beautiful of the four).
