- Natural tidal pools (piscinas naturais) — When the tide drops, shallow crystal-clear pools form a few meters off the sand, full of colorful fish and corals you can wade into. It’s one of the quickest, most relaxing ways to snorkel without gear hassles; just slip on fins and float among the reef close to shore.
- Traditional jangada and sandbank trips — Local wooden boats ferry you to tiny sandbanks and reef fringes that look like someone painted them. The trip itself feels rustic and authentic, and the shallow turquoise spots around the sandbanks are perfect for lazy snorkeling and taking impossibly calm photos.
- Rota Ecológica coastline walks and bike rides — This stretch of coast is lined with low-rise houses, coconut palms and long empty beaches, so wandering or cycling here is quietly

- Rota Ecológica coastline walks and bike rides — This stretch of coast is lined with low-rise houses, coconut palms and long empty beaches, so wandering or cycling here is quietly addictive. You’ll pass small fishing communities, salt pans and little surprise viewpoints where the sea and palms meet in the classic northeast-Brazil frame.
- Sunset from the sandbanks or dunes — Watching the sun sink from a low sandbank or a shaded dune is special because the water and reflective sand double the colors; no boardwalks or big crowds to get between you and the horizon. Bring a light jacket for the breeze and maybe something small to sip while the sky does its show.
- Stargazing and low-key night life — Light pollution is minimal, so the Milky Way often spills overhead and the constellations feel close enough to point at. Nights here are mostly relaxed: beach strolls, occasional acoustic music at open-air spots, and during nesting season you can sometimes join responsible turtle-protection walks run by locals.
