Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

What travellers are saying
- Edward D.Lucena, PB4,536 contributionsCabo Branco Beach is possibly the best beach in the city, mostly because of the infrastructure in the area: there are many hotels, beach bars, restaurants of all types (from pizza joints to fine dining establishments); you can rent bicycles to ride on the dedicated bike path that runs all along the coast of Joao Pessoa to Cabedelo. If you are a sun worshipper, you can rent a beach chair and an umbrella and sit on the golden sand, looking at the beautiful turquoise water that’s always warm.
Cabo Branco Beach is flanked by 2 other beaches: Tambaú Beach and Seixas Beach which is where the easternmost point of the Americas is located. There are a lot of reasons to visit this beach and I highly recommend you come.Written 16 February 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- LAW64Tonbridge, UK1,780 contributionsWe had a lovely visit here to this historical place with a very nice and helpful guide who took us around and explained everything very clearly in English.

- Edward D.Lucena, PB4,536 contributionsThis observatory is on the 51st floor, which doesn’t sound that high, but it’s one of the tallest buildings in the city and it sits on a high neighborhood. This is also the only observatory in the city, so it’ll have to do.
It’s actually very nice—with observation decks on 2 floors. From the top of this building, you can see all of the beaches of the city below, as well as the easternmost tip of South America. It’s quite beautiful and the entry fee is very reasonable (R$20, or about $4 US).
The other really good thing about coming to visit Sky Beach is that after you've spent as much time as you’d like here, you can go down 1 more floor to visit Sky Bar, where they have indoor and outdoor seating, a large cocktail menu, as well as a decent little food menu.
If you live in the area or are just visiting, it’s definitely worth a visit—I highly recommend it!Written 5 September 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

There are lovely views of the city and the river. It is a shame that there isn't more investment in this area as it can be dangerous at night. Worth going with a guide. There is still a lot of renovation that needs to be done and then people would appreciate it even more.Written 14 August 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Monica_BornscheinJoinville, SC27 contributionsI dropped by the city craft market during my visit to Joao Pessoa because I'm a big fan of the handcrafts of this part of Brazil. I was surprised to find a great variety of products in a very neat and organized area. The only cons is that pets are not allowed, so I had to visit alone while my husband took care of our puppy in the car.Written 26 August 2014This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
