The four main beaches include the southernmost Praia do Amor (Love beach), followed by the Main Beach, Baía dos Golfinhos (Dolphin Bay) and Praia do Madeiro as the northernmost beach.
Praia do Amor is an open face beach break that can be good for beginners on a small day, but can get heavy and hollow on the bigger swells.
Just a short stroll around the north point is the Main beach in Pipa which is just in front of the town centre. It is protected by a huge barrief reef that can deliver nice long right-handers up 6 feet on a good northeastern swell, most suited for experienced surfers.
The next two beachs are a paradise for beginners, especially Praia do Madeiro which is swell protected, with small perfect waves peeling down the point, perfect for longboards and soft beginners boards.
To top up the experience, Praia do Madeiro receives daily visits from packs of dolphins.
An hour´s drive south of the surf town of Pipa is the fishing village Baía Formosa. It has some of the best surf in the region including right point-break that is considered one of the best in the country.
