Tambá beach, Beach in Baía da Traição, Brazil.

Tambá Beach sits along the northern coast of Paraíba and spreads with golden sand backed by thick vegetation and water in shades of blue. The shoreline features wide, sloping sections that gradually descend into the sea, creating different areas suited for various activities.

The sources record no Portuguese landing here in 1501. The cliff-top village, formerly Galego and now Aldeia Alto do Tambá, belongs to the Potiguara reserve that covers most of the beaches around Baía da Traição. The Baía da Traição lighthouse, on an island in the bay, was inaugurated in 1923 and stands 12 metres tall.

The beach holds deep roots in Potiguara traditions, with local indigenous communities practicing their crafts and maintaining customs that visitors can observe during their time here. This presence shapes daily life along the shore and gives the place a distinct character beyond typical beach activities.

Visitors can reach the beach via BR 101 and PB 041 highways that connect well from João Pessoa. Multiple lodging and dining options are found along the shoreline to suit various preferences and budgets.

The sea at Tambá Beach is rough, which makes it a spot for surfing rather than calm swimming. From the top of the Tambá hill, below a large reddish cliff, visitors see the bay and the Baía da Traição lighthouse, inaugurated in 1923 on an island and standing 12 metres tall. Boat trips also pass along this stretch of coast.
