Tambaba is a beach in the State of Paraiba, on the northeast coast of Brazil. Paraiba affords the same beauty of the most famous neighbours, such as Pernambuco and Ceara, but is still much less explored.

Tambaba is the most important naturist centre in Brazil; for nearly two decades now, naturists from all over Brazil come to meet in Tambaba.

In 2008, Tambaba will host the XXXI International Congress of Naturism, organized by the International Naturist Federation.

For a few days, Tambaba will be the world center of naturism. Thousands of people are expected to visit Tambaba in September of 2008.

There have been several spells in recent times where shark attacks have been prevalent. This doesn't mean don't go to Recife - in fact DO go to Recife. What it means is, make bloody sure you keep up to date on the current situation by asking in your hotel/pousada. The beaches around Olinda, up the coast, don't seem to have been affected but a magazine called Trip ran a feature a few years ago about surfers who had lost limbs. They did it so you don't have to. Oh - the word for 'shark' is TUBARAO, and 'sea' is MAR. "Tem tubarao no mar aqui?"

Boa Viagem, it seems!
