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!
