Pipa has beaches for every taste — from lively and social to remote and wild. Here is the complete guide to the main beaches, with distances from No Worries Hostel.
Praia do Centro — 200 m from hostel
The village beach, right in front of the main strip. Lively, colorful, with beach bars and a sunset that stops time. Good for swimming in calm conditions.
Praia do Amor — 600 m (8 min walk)
Pipa's postcard beach. Red cliffs, breathtaking viewpoint, consistent waves. Perfect for intermediate surf and ocean gazing.
Baia dos Golfinhos — 900 m (12 min walk)
Where the spinner dolphins live. From the viewpoint you can watch them swimming freely — especially at low tide in the morning. Free and unmissable.
Praia do Madeiro — 2.6 km (8 min by car)
The liveliest beach outside the village. Ideal waves for beginner surfers, bars with music, fresh seafood and natural pools at low tide.
Chapadao — 1.3 km (15 min walk)
A viewpoint rather than a beach, but unmissable. 360-degree view of the entire Pipa coastline. Best spot to watch the full moon rise over the ocean.
Praia de Cacimbinhas — 3.8 km
One of the most preserved beaches in the area. Harder to reach but very rewarding. Few people, intermediate surf waves and stunning scenery.
No Worries Hostel: 100m from the main strip, 10min from the best beaches.
