Tips by GUSTAVO VIVACQUA

1. Cell phones work and there are public phones.  

2. You can swim to the natural swimming pools. It's nice to sail on the rafts, but it is not necessary. The reefs are close to the sand. 

3. Take diving equipment, because the water is great. If you don't have, you can rent there. 

4. Visit Serrambi. The place is awesome. 

5. You can rent a surf board in Maracaípe

6. Try "tapioca" with melted cheese and coconut milk. It is neither great nor terrible, but it worths the try. 

7. It's easy to rent a buggy (a kind of jeep, designed to ride on the sand). 

8. There are great waves there 

9. "If you're going to Porto de Galinhas, visit the bar and restaurant "Bico Verde" (green beak), it is located at downtown and in certain days of the week, local folkloric presentations happen there, extraordinary! After the show, there is 'forró'! " tip from Dênis  

10. "The rent of  motorbikes (honda biz) it is the best choice in Porto de Galinhas. We went everywhere on it. We went from one end to the other by the sand. And we collected  a lot of cashews at the road." tip from Marcelo Miranda Vitória - ES  

11. "I loved the site. Close to Porto de Galinhas (about 80 km), there is a beach that is wonderful: "Carneiros" (Sheep) Beach. The easiest access is by boat, where the landscape is fantastic. The sand and snow white and the waters crystal clear. Don't miss it." tip from Camila - Rio Claro (SP).
