• Take a buggy tour
• Take a trip on a little boat in the lagoon and swim with the fish (take some kind of footwear as the rocks are sharp!).
• Walk to nearby Maracaipe and watch the surfers.
• Find a spot on the beach, order shrimp and beer, sit back and relax.
• In the beach point (Pontal do Maracaipe) local kitesurfers can be seen. For the more adventurous, classes on this sport are available as well.

Bustling beach town in summer, lots of dining places, local "churrascarias" (barbecue) and good seafood. Lots of beach activities in the area. Amongst them, visits to the "piscinas naturais" in a jangada, a local raft tour to the nearby reefs, where sea water makes natural ponds, and lots of different fish can be seen.

If lucky enough you might attend a sea turtle birth at full moon in midsummer, plan for a full moon stay.

Note that the beautiful reefs are only available at very low tide, for about two hours a day. Ask for information at travel agency or tourism information center for the recommended days and hours to visit reefs.

The shops in the pedestrian zone in the center of town offer local crafts and clothing as well as beach equipment.

• Carne-de-Sol da Cunha - Excellent meat for a good price. One dish serves two people.
• Peixe na Telha - Seafood at the seaside.
• Tio Dadá - In the town center 50 meters from the natural pools.
• Restaurante BarCaxeira - Excellent meat (specially the seafood) for a good price.

There are many bars and restaurants here to serve the weekend party crowd. It isn't hard to find a place for a drink along the beach, on either of the two main roads, or from a number of stands set up at night where the two main roads connect near the beach. Sometimes it is possible to see and even participate in an impromptu drum circle at this intersection on weekend evenings.
