| João Pessoa - Areia Vermelha |
Areia Vermelha |
The isle has a curiosity that captivates residents as well as tourists. During
certain periods of the year, the sand becomes reddish due to substances expelled by seaweeds and other components from the sea.
It is 2km long and protected by a reef barrier, making the sea to be calmer at the
seaside. Visitors are taken to the isle by boats. The visitation to the isle is allowed only during 20 days per month, due to the tides. During
the most high season, Areia Vermelha receives about 2000 embarkations per weekend. |
