Tibau do Sul and Pipa are in Rio Grande do Norte in the northeast of Brazil. Just off the BR-101 they are approximately 85km south of Natal and 160km north of João Pessoa, in Paraíba (Recife, capital of Pernambuco, is about 225km south of Tibau do Sul & Pipa). Arriving by car, once you arrive in Goianinha (60km south of Natal), simply follow the road signs for 25km to Tibau do Sul. Pipa is a mere 7km south on the same road. Be warned, the quality of the BR-101 is far superior to the Goianinha-Pipa road so careful with the dangerous curves, speed-bumps and ever-present potholes!
