Ilha de Picãozinho
N of Praia de Tambaú.

Camboinhas, 8 miles (13 km)
north of Tambaú. Trips to this
island can be arranged by
travel agencies.
Actually a large coral reef,
Ilha de Picãozinho is a
popular spot. At low tide,
boats depart from Praia do
Tambaú, and take visitors
over to swim and snorkel in
the natural tide pools. Fish
and starfish can be easily
observed in the crystal-clear
water. Check the tide table for
specific times daily before
taking a dip. For a few days
every month, the tide is too
high for the reef to be visited.

Praia Tambaba
19 miles (30 km) S of town.
Tambaba is a beautiful,
secluded nude beach with
lush vegetation, small reefs,
and tidepools. Two coves
make up this splendid beach.
Clothing is optional on one of
the coves. The other cove,
which is exclusively a nudist
beach, is closed off by a gate
and allows men only if
accompanied by women.

Another low-tide attraction
is Ilha de Areia Vermelha
(Island of Red Sand). For
approximately 25 days every
month, low tide exposes a
beautiful beach of striking
red-orange sand, a short
distance off the coast of Joāo
Pessoa. With a choice of
floating bars, it makes a
perfect spot for swimming,
snorkeling, or sunbathing.
The temporary island is
accessible from Praia da
