Tabatinga beach

Cliffs, natural pools at low tide and the heart-shaped pool between Tabatinga I and II: how to get to Tabatinga beach, in Conde.

Short answer

How far is Tabatinga from João Pessoa?

About 35 kilometres, roughly 40 minutes by car on the PB-008, in the municipality of Conde.

Coming to João Pessoa? We manage 39 buildings along the shore, with our own team on the ground and direct booking, with no platform fee.

How to get to Tabatinga

By car along the PB-008, towards Conde. As at the neighbouring beaches, there is no convenient public transport for tourists — the trip works best by car, ride-hailing app or tour.

The way down to the sand is by a staircase.

Tabatinga I and Tabatinga II

The beach is split in two by a maceió, the watercourse that runs down to the sea. Tabatinga I holds most of the facilities, including beach clubs; Tabatinga II is the quieter stretch.

The Tabatinga II cliffs hold natural clay, which visitors tend to put on their skin — a long-standing habit at the beach.

The heart of water and the lookout

Seen from above, the meeting of the maceió and the sea forms a heart shape. The best angle is not from the sand: it is from the Dedo de Deus viewpoint, at Praia de Coqueirinho, right next door.

It is worth planning both beaches in the same outing for exactly that reason — each gives you the view of the other.

Natural pools and the tide

At low tide natural pools form among the rocks, with calm shallow water. Check the tide table before setting out: at high tide they simply do not exist.

Questions

What guests usually ask

How far is Tabatinga from João Pessoa?

About 35 kilometres, roughly 40 minutes by car on the PB-008, in the municipality of Conde.

What is the difference between Tabatinga I and Tabatinga II?

The two stretches are separated by a maceió. Tabatinga I holds most of the facilities, including beach clubs. Tabatinga II is quieter and has natural clay in its cliffs.

Where is the viewpoint overlooking the heart of waters?

At the Dedo de Deus viewpoint, at Praia de Coqueirinho, next to Tabatinga. From there you can see the shape formed where the maceió meets the sea.

Does Tabatinga have natural pools?

Yes, among the rocks, and only at low tide. Check the tide table before planning the trip.

How do you get down to the sand?

By stairway, since the beach sits at the foot of a cliff wall.
