Praia do Amor
Praia do Amor is one of Pipa's most beautiful beaches, accessed via steep stairs that wind down dramatic red cliffs. The heart-shaped cove (that gives the beach its name) produces consistent peaks suitable for intermediate surfers. The setting is stunning and the town of Pipa above offers excellent nightlife and restaurants. Dolphins are frequently spotted in the area.
