About this experience
Carneiros Beach is one of the favorites for nautical sports among Pernambucans. The sea is calm, with ideal characteristics for a good dive: clear waters, shallow depth and plenty of space to have fun and sunbathe on its sands. The coconut trees make of Carneiros a beautiful specimen of Northeastern beach.
Get ready to discover a coastline chocked with coconut trees and white sands where the man almost does not make himself present. You will be charmed by the rudimentary nature, lush and wild. They are exotic beaches, unexplored and semi-deserted.
