About
Pipa is a coastal district in the Brazilian state of Rio Grande do Norte, within the municipality of Tibau do Sul. It is a beach destination first and foremost, set along a shoreline known for its dramatic cliffs and clean sand.
What the visit is like
Most people come for the beaches and the scenery. The cliffs rising above the sand give the coast a striking outline, and the stretches of beach around them are considered pristine, which suits a slow day of walking, swimming and watching the sea. Because Pipa is a popular tourist destination, the district has a steady flow of visitors, and the atmosphere around its beaches tends to be lively without being crowded in every corner.
