Praia de Morro Branco

Only 5 km from Beberibe. The Praia do Morro Branco is internationally famous for cliff formations that run the entire length of the beach.

The erosive effect of the winds and water on the sand have come together to create multi colored layers in the sedimentary rock that makes up what all call "falesias" in Portuguese.

The coast line and the surrounding area is
a National Park. The "Parque Nacional das Falesias" is a protected area. There are stiff
fines for anyone causing damage to the cliffs.

Barra do Sucatinga

is located here.
