How to use this guide
Everything you can see from João Pessoa's seafront, organised by driving time. The closer it is, the more sense it makes to go and come back the same day and sleep at the beach again.
Up to an hour: half a day is enough
Cabedelo, with the Jacaré sunset and the Fortaleza de Santa Catarina; the Conde beaches, on the southern coast; and the natural pools by catamaran.
- Sunset at Praia do Jacaré
- Santa Catarina Fortress
- Paraíba's south coast: the one-day itinerary
- Picãozinho natural pools
One to two hours: a full-day trip
Lucena and the northern coast, Pitimbu, Ingá, and the Pernambuco side — Carne de Vaca, Itamaracá and Olinda.
- Lucena and the bridge that will shorten the northern coast
- Baía da Traição: beach and Potiguara land
- Pitimbu, the south coast without the crowds
- Ingá and Mogeiro: the rock, and what surrounds it
- Pernambuco from João Pessoa
Two hours or a little more: worth an early start
Barra de Camaratuba, Pipa and the Brejo — Areia, Bananeiras and Alagoa Grande — and Campina Grande. They work as day trips, but a night away makes the trip better.
- Barra de Camaratuba
- Pipa from João Pessoa
- Areia: the Brejo, two hours from the beach
- Bananeiras: waterfalls and a touch of mountain chill
- Alagoa Grande: the land of Jackson do Pandeiro
- Campina Grande beyond the São João
A trip of its own: three hours or more
Cabaceiras, Araruna, Maturéia and the Vale dos Dinossauros, in Sousa. They are not day trips — they are extensions of the trip, with João Pessoa as the arrival or departure point.
