Brazil
The most beautiful beach in the whole area, worth the short bus ride from Pipa town (take a local bus for R$2.50). The surf here is the best of the town's beaches with many surf schools for any beginners wanting to pick it up. There is also a nearby nature sanctuary which is well worth a look. The beach itself has beautiful sand, is resplendent with dolphins and has incredible cliffs jutting out of the ocean as its beautiful backdrop. At low tide the town can be reached with difficulty by climbing around the rocks to Dolphin bay, which is also definitely worth a visit.
Ask a collectivo (local bus) driver for Praia do Madeiro and he'll drop you outside a hotel. Walk through a gate in the wall and there are steps down the cliff to the beach.

This beach is just outside the main central street of Pipa and it is beautiful. The surf is amazing, the people are stunning and there is even a chance of seeing dolphins!
You can hitchhike to get there or jump on one of the minibuses that pass regularly.
Indeed, Pipa is one of the most beautiful beaches in Brazil. Also, it is probably one of the beaches with the highest concentration of visitors, mostly Europeans.
