The government does not take care of the town properly.
In a nutshell
Lovely beaches to enjoy every time again and again
realde14 Says: Tambau is the liveliest beach area in Joao Pessoa, where you can go the beach during the day and to the baracas (bahamas for example) to dance forro at night. There is also a handicraft market nearby where you can buy hamacs, t-shirts and sample some local food.
realde14 Says: As mentioned, Joao Pessoa is Brazilian's third-oldest city and has a number of beautiful colonial buildings in the Centro Historico. It is not comparable to nearby Olinda but still worth visiting before going back to the beach (whic is the reason why you came to Joao Pessoa...

Toca do Caju: Rodizio (churrascuria)
rkearns Says: I came here and ate churrasco for my first time in Brazil. I had Brazilian bbq at my travel companion's house, but never rodizio style at a restaurant, until this time. The spread of side dishes at the salad bar was of corn, salad, beans, farofa, kale, hard boiled eggs,...

Bikinis Beach Bar: Live Music everynight
Harvey3509 Says: Bikinis Beach Bar located in Cabo Branco on the beach is OPEN 24 hours a day / 7 days a week. This bar has live music every night and very friendly staff - The owner is a American and is there most nights. Safe and secure neighborhood. Have a great time and meet local...
Next to Bahamas Bar, Tambau beach: Exotic food: Tapioca
FrediKesselring Says: At night, next to the bars, you can see these women and their "Tapioca", which is a typical food made of flour. The clothes of the woman are similar to the ones the slaves wore more than 150 years ago. Special clothes?here? from swimming trunks to jeans...they are all ok.
To get a bus in João Pessoa is pretty easy. For tourists that wants to go to the beach, there are plenty of them. For example, if you want to go to Cabo Branco's beach and/or visit Estação Ciências, you can catch the bus 507 Cabo Branco and/or 507 Cabo Branco with a little board with the name Estação Ciências (you can also visit Farol de Cabo Branco by taking this bus) just ask for the right bus stop if you want to practice your portuguese and/or have it written down in a piece of paper.
Cabo Branco's bus also pass through Tambaú's beach. So you can meet two beaches just by getting in one bus. And also cabo Branco's bus can take you downtown. You can drop at Lagoa if you intend to walk around the city and/or at Integração if you're going to visit another city around João Pessoa, like Bananeiras, Campina Grande etc. Meaning: we have to buses stations here. One for going around João Pessoa's city and other to go to cities around João Pessoa, like Campina Grande, Bananeiras, Souza (it used to have a dinosaur park there).
Bus costs R$ 2,20 now.

FrediKesselring Says: No, it is not the moon with its beautiful craters, it is Joao Pessoa and its mayor. Ok, it has always been like this but now it is worse. If you rent a car here, please try to understand that having a puncture is the easiest thing round here.

FrediKesselring Says: But...why is the name of this place "Father Mateus Rocks"? A long time ago, there lived a hermit called...Pai Mateus (Father Mateus). He used to live in this cave. Our guide said people used to come to be blessed by him when they were sick.
FrediKesselring Says: It is something about 100km far from João Pessoa, although it seems that you will never get there because the roads are horrible. Getting here, you can relax, sail -just give about R$ 10 (around 4 dollars) to a fisherman and he will take you for a short trip around on his...

Everything you ever wanted to know about J P
