Jacaré beach

Jacaré beach sits where the Paraiba River meets the Atlantic Ocean, with a wooden promenade lined with shops and restaurants. The shoreline curves gently along the river, creating a calm water area where boats and catamarans are moored.

This location was a small fishing village until the 1990s, when a saxophonist began performing from a boat at sunset. The musical performances gradually drew visitors and transformed the area into a destination.

Music has become woven into the evening rhythm here, with crowds gathering along the water to watch the sunset together. The shared experience of this nightly gathering has shaped how the community and visitors relate to the place.

Visit in the late afternoon to experience the area when crowds gather and boat activities are at their peak. Craft markets and food vendors operate along the waterfront, making it easy to find something to eat or shop while you wait.

A saxophonist performs from a small canoe, navigating between anchored boats to play classical music for the crowds below. This daily performance remains an unstructured tradition rather than a scheduled event, making each sunset unique.
