The greatest concentration of hotels in João Pessoa can be found at the beginning of the Cabo Branco beachfront. And not by accident: from there, you can walk to the Tambaú center, which is the heart of the city’s tourism – with bars, restaurants, tapioca tents, a crafts center, and meeting points for dune buggy rides and the trip to the Picãozinho natural pool.
Manaíra, the first neighborhood past Tambaú, is the city’s elegant commercial district. Those who stay around that area find themselves closer to bistros, restaurants and bars frequented mostly by local residents of João Pessoa.
Recently, new hotels have been cropping up along the southern coast, especially in Carapibus beach, 25 km (16 mi) from the central beaches. You can enjoy the most beautiful beaches in the state and visit João Pessoa whenever you like.
