Welcome to Adventure Tours

Boa Viagem beach is arguably one of the world's best urban beaches. It also runs straight into Pina beach on the left and Piedade beach on the right. The recently renovated beach front has a running track and cycle lanes plus a wide walkway.

Boa Viagem Natural Pools

Recife gets its name from the reefs that run along the coast. At low tide the reefs produce natural pools that make for safe swimming. Saftey in the water is an issue for some as Recife does have a small number of shark attacks each year. Personally I think the risk is not great and the fear is very exagerated. The roads are far more dangerous. But, if you are at all concerned be sure to bath where you see the reefs.

Beach Kiosk

The walkway has many thatch roof Kiosks selling refreshments and snacks including coconut water (”agua de coco”), caipirinhas, coxinha (chicken or shrimp filled snacks that are deep fried in breadcrumbs), empadinhas - small pies of camerao (shrimp ), Palmito (heart of Palm), Frango (Chicken) and other options.

On the beach you will find chairs and parasols offered free of charge by operators who make their money selling refreshments and food. A large 700ml beer is usually R$3.50. You keep the empty bottles with you so they can calculate the bill at the end of the day.

Nut Seller

If all that is not enough the beach will also have an army of sellers offering other food including Caldinho (soup of beans, camerao (shrimrp) or peixe (fish)), also fresh, and not so fresh, oysters and camerao. Eating fish and seafood that has been out in the heat for several hours clearly has its risks. If you are too tempted and cannot resist try and make sure that the ones you buy have ben kept in a cool box.

Cashew Nuts (Castanha)

Safer foods to try include grilled cheese on a stick that is sprinkled with Oregano (Queijo na Brasa). Just make sure it is well grilled. This rule also applies to Spetinhos (mini-kebabs) of beef or chicken. Safest of all perhaps are the Cashew nuts (Castanha), or peanuts (Amendoin). You may also like to try the fresh fruit or fruit salad. The most strange option perhaps is boiled quails eggs, usually sold by the people selling nuts.

At night Boa Viagem beach has several street food vendors in addition to the Kiosks. It can be pretty lively and interesting to join the crowds, but make sure to not hang around too late. When the beach gets quiet after dark (from approx 10pm) you could be a target for opportunistic thieves

Whilst on the subject of safety, it is always advisable to go to the beach without valuables, or to keep them out of sight. You are not in great danger and should feel relaxed as long as you do not make yourself a target.
