- Pipa has a sensational topography. Its beaches are protected by high cliffs, a downright blessing for the ecologically minded preservationist. Because these beaches are not easily accessed, the standard foot traffic of vendors, self-appointed guides, hawks and freelance salespersons is notably absent. People who frequent the beaches in Pipa are those who truly love the beach, who want to immerse themselves in the clear, warm waters, the fine white sand, and the intoxicating and diverse natural beauty.
- Here the best approach during the sun-drenched days is to enjoy the beaches, hikes, boats, fishing, diving, dune buggies, Ecological Sanctuary, trails, horseback riding, etc., and by night to select from among the excellent restaurants, creperias, bars and Internet cafes; browse among sophisticated shops and street crafts; and prolong the night at a club or watch the moonrise and even sunrise over the cliffs.
- Near Pipa other attractions beckon. Numerous shrimp farms, a bucolic Villa in Sibaúma where hand-powered ferries allow vehicles to criss-cross the snaking tributaries to such idylls as Barra do Cunhaú, Vila Flor, Canguaretama, Baia Formosa - allowing excursions by car or dune buggy as far as the Paraiba state line at the spot known as Sagi, famous for its dark-watered lake appropriately named Lake CocaCola.
- Also with Pipa as base, the more standard day trips can be made northward hugging the coast, passing through Pirangi to see the world's largest cashew tree, Natal, Jenipabu, São Miguel do Gostoso and onward.
- In Pipa the commercial offerings and quality of service to tourists are quite good and include a healthcare centre, post office, electronic banking, exchange house, police station, pharmacy, supermarkets, and other support services.
If you come to Pipa, one thing is true: this simple, inviting place with its friendly people will conquer your heart and leave you wistful at the time of parting.
