Trips from Olinda to the Beaches
of the Coast of Pernambuco, Brazil

Pernambuco has a tropical climate and the whole year beautiful beaches, which are like lukewarm natural baths. All of this beaches are unique and particular beaches, which are worth it to know them.

Except the beautiful beaches of Pernambuco, it is a historical region, because this coast was one of the most important regions in the brazilian colonial age and platform of innumerable events.

For this reason the beaches and the coast are to be become acquainted with mandatorily. Beaches like the beach "Praia de Boa Viagem", "Gaibu", "Suape", "Muro Alto", "Serrambi", "Porto de Galinhas", "Itamaracá", "Maria Farinha", "Ponta de Pedras", under many other beaches, are the beads of the brazilian coast. From Olinda there are numerous possibilities of undertaking trips to these beaches.

The city beaches of Olinda are polluted, and not recommended for swimming. However, there are many excellent beaches north and south of Olinda.

You've got to get out of town for a fine, clean beach. Head north to Janga beach (eight km) or at least Rio Doce (six km), and beyond to Praia Nossa Senhora do Ó (12 km), Praia de Pau Amarelo (14 km), Praia da Conceição (17 km) and Praia da Maria Farinha (23 km). The road goes along close to the beach, but don't be deterred by the ugly development beside the road: the beaches are generally undisturbed except for barracas and crowds on weekends. Enjoy the local siri (small crab) and caranguejo (big crab) at the barracas. There are local buses to these beaches from Praça do Carmo.

All these beaches are not far convenient of Olinda, where the Hotel Pousada Peter is located. Already in the neighbourhood there is the city Paulista with the beaches "Enseadinha", "Janga", "Pau Amarelo", "Nossa Senhora do Ó", as well as the beaches Conceição" and "Maria Farinha".
