Rainy season and general info
by Tamashin
Not to dampen your spirit but dont forget you are coming to JP at the height of the rainy season. As a general rule, it rains during the night and peters out in the morning.
On the subject of websites, there is a brand new website called
www.paraibaparadise.com
which is solely devoted to everything, Joao Pessoa. It is regularly updated and the "whats on where" is probably the most comprehensive in Brasil.
The site deals with all aspects and even has a forum.
Tamashin Another nice memory is the view of Joao Pessoa from the viewing point near the Bagaço restaurant
THE RIVER AND THE SEA
by RafaelTheSecond
In the beaches of Traição Bay it is very common to find rivers ending in the sea, and this is one of the exits of Mamanguape River...This is the local habitat of the rare mamatti which we call here PEIXE BOI. It takes ages to reach the other edge by canoe, but we made it, thanks to a local which unfortunately I forgot his name!
During the afternoon the sea gets shalow, but it can be dangerous as the tyle can increase in any moment!

Jacare beach (Alligator Beach)
by FrediKesselring
It is a wonderful place to sit at a bar and see the sunset. They play "Ravel's Bolero" everyday here while the sun is setting. It is also a good place for jet skiing or sailing. A Sunday afternoon here is usually lively.
