Awesome! I saw a lot of dolphins swimming very close to me! The beach is very clean and beautiful. I don’t think it’s necessary to buy the boat tickets to see the dolphins. In my opinion it is the best Pipa beach.

Amazing Experience
Aug 2019 • Family
It is the most amazing and beautiful experience you will have in life.

Just to be able to be as close as 15 meters of the dolphins ( GOLFINHOS ) in their natural habitad.

Please DO NOT PAY to go by boat. Before use to be around 15-20 dolphins, today because the boats there are just about 8.

Just go walking to the Baia dos Golfinhos and if you consider yourself a good swimmer just go like that, or for R$60 (around £15) per hour just rent a kayak.

Dolphins are everywhere

We were told the best time to see dolphins was in the morning but we gave it a try late afternoon and saw plenty of them swimming very close to the beach. Great place to spend the day but late afternoon is also a great time since there are fewer people on the beach.

You don't need to be on a boat to see the dolphins, save you money!

Make sure to check the tide before you go since access to the beach depends on low to medium tide level.

Beautiful beach, not directly accessible but worth the walk
Jul 2019 • Couples
This “hidden” beach is amazing, beautiful long sandy beach with few rocks in the water is great to cool down and enjoy the cliffs behind the beach as well. From a 10 to 15 minutes walk from Praia do centro you’re entering from the side. Because of the long shallow water side it’s great for kids as well, first 10 to 20 meter is mostly about 40 to 50cm deep.

It's an incredible place to visit!!! you need to walk from Pipa, around 1 kilometer. The water is perfect, walking is very easy and to be swwimming and seeing dolphins near to you, jumping, it's a wonderful experience. I will always thanks to God to give me this incredible dream: to see dolphins "dancing" near to you in the beach. If you go, don't forget your camera!!!
