Tibau do Sul, on the south coast of Rio Grande do Norte, near Natal.
Those who visit Natal can go and return on the same day to, either by bus or car.
Tibau do Sul may even be a name not so well known by tourists from different corners of Brazil.
However, it is precisely in this municipality of Tibau do Sul that is the famous and trendy Praia de Pipa.
Although Pipa is the beach most sought after by tourists, know that Tibau do Sul has other very seductive attractions, with scenery outlined by cliffs, dunes and the striking Guaraíras Lagoon.
Among the good options of the place, there is still Madeiro Beach, which can be reached after descending a staircase amid the cliffs, and Cacimbinhas Beach, where the strong winds and rough sea attract surfers and kitesurfers.
A good way to explore the region to the fullest is by taking the pau-de-arara ride, which leaves Pipa Beach, heads south and returns north, ending at sunset in front of the Guaraíras Lagoon.
The end of the afternoon can also be enjoyed on a boat trip around the lagoon.
And if the visitor wants to immerse himself even more in the culture of the place, be sure to taste the regional cuisine, marked by fresh fish, and check out the handicrafts made by the locals.
Tibau do Sul is a fishing village, and less hectic than the neighboring Praia de Pipa and has more isolated beaches, formed by cliffs (murals of stones, like a ravine), has clear waters, open sea and calm.
Beauty and tranquility in the midst of breathtaking Tibau do Sul cliffs.

The beaches of Pipa can be known in just one day or more calmly, which was my case, for 3 days.
1. Praia de Pipa (Main Beach)
Pipa beach has a good structure of tents. Depending on the tide, a series of shallow natural pools of warm and clean water are formed.
It is the closest beach to the commercial area of the village and easily accessible, consequently the most crowded.
From there you can walk to Praia do Amor on one side and Praia dos Golfinhos on the other.
2. Praia dos Golfinhos
The name itself defines the place! It is a great feeling to be on the beach and see the dolphins in the sea! Whoever goes to Pipa can not miss watching. As the waters of this beach are quite calm it is common to see kayak and stand up paddle practitioners.
3. Praia do Madeiro
The landscape of Madeiro beach is stunning. The beach can be accessed through a walk at low tide by Praia dos Golfinhos or by the Pipa / Tibau do Sul road, where there is a wooden staircase to the beach. In the middle of the route towards the staircase is the tip to stop at the lookout and take beautiful pictures.
4. Praia do Giz
With several stones on its shore and some coconut trees that give it a whole charm, it is very frequented by surfers and kite surfers. The beach can be accessed by the Pipa/Tibau road at Ponta do Pirambu or by the Tibau do Sul waterfront.
5. Tibau do Sul Beach (Praia do Centro)

6. Praia do Amor
Close to the center of Pipa, the beach is very frequented by surfers because of its waves. There are few bar and restaurant options.

7. Praia das Minas
Beautiful and deserted beach where you can be more comfortable and away from the hustle and bustle. The sea is rough and swimming is not recommended. For those who like to walk on the beach with tranquility this is the place. Access is via Praia do Amor or a huge staircase through Chapadão da Pipa.
Go along the waterfront and climb the staircase, it is quite a sight! From the chapadão it is possible to go to Av. Baía dos Golfinhos, about 15 minutes walk to the commercial area of Pipa.
