From the centre of the town you have to walk down to the central beach. From the central beach there are approximately 10 minutes walking on the sand. After passing little rocky mountains you`ll find the beach.
No car is needed to arrive to the beach. Pipa is about 85 kms. from Natal and there are lots of hotels (pousadas) to stay, that are cheap.
Overview
Atmosphere
This spot is for all surfers including beginners. The size of the board is goes from a 5`9 up to a 6`4. Some longboards and funboards are seen sometimes. Near Praia do Amor there`s another beach that in a very good day you can see dolphins while surfing.
General
This spot is one of the best in Rio Grande do Norte. Championships had been realized in this beach.
There are two surf seasons at Pipa. December to March which picks up N to NE swells and June to September which picks up S to SE swells. You can surf diferent waves at these seasons. Both seasons are very nice. Falou!!!
