Cacimbinhas
Edit SpotAbout
Surfing with dolphins and on a good day, you can score a very long wave.
Additional Info:
Park your car on top of the cliff and find the trail that leads to the beach. The spot is right in front of it. Watchout for the very shallow sand bar that forms at the low tide.
Location
Loading...Access
On your way by road from Tibau do Sul to Pipa, pass by the last hotel you see in Tibau do Sul on your left, go ahead about 500 meters at the road and you'll see that the cliffs at the beach get a little lower and more yellow. Find the access between the cliffs to take you to the beach and its right in front. If you go by the beach, pass the spot called Boia in front of the Solar hotel and walk another kilometer.
