Beaches: seven of them are known to be the most beautiful ones. In the first one, between crystal-clear waters and white sand, native tents offer typical dishes. High waves, in winter, make the surfers happy. The second, very close to the city center (10 minute-walk), is the busiest. Charming inns, kiosks with music and parties days and nights. The third and fourth are excellent diving spots, with coral reefs and colorful fishes. In the fourth, a 50-meter zipline assures adventure-lovers moments of pure adrenaline.
Tours: a tour of the Ilha de Tinharé can last up to 8 hours, as it gives an overview of the archipelago and allows visitors to enjoy beautiful natural pools, diving and the tasting of lobster and oysters, as well a visit to the historic town of Tinharé. A short drive leads to Ponta do Curral, a place of semi-deserted beaches and untouchable beauties. By car, in a 4X4 vehicle, you will go to Garapuá, a calm beach of smooth waters, white sand and lush vegetation.
Fortaleza de Tapirandu: besides its beautiful beaches, Morro de São Paulo also has a lot of history, such as the fort built in 1630, from where you can admire the spectacle of dolphins and a wonderful sunset.
Lighthouse: built in 1855, it is 10 minutes away from the city center. The view of the sunset is a must.
