Ponta do Seixas, Easternmost headland in Paraíba, Brazil
Ponta do Seixas is a headland in Paraíba marked by steep sedimentary cliffs that rise from the Atlantic Ocean. A distinctive triangular lighthouse stands at this location and serves as a recognizable landmark visible from the water.
The lighthouse was built in the early 1970s to mark this geographic location and improve maritime navigation. This coastal point became an important reference for ships traveling along the Atlantic coast of Brazil.
The name comes from the rocks that characterize this coastal point. Today it serves as a gathering place where locals and visitors experience the local seafood traditions in restaurants overlooking the ocean.
This location is accessible by regular bus service from João Pessoa and has nearby restaurants and accommodations. Visit in the morning or afternoon when the light best highlights the cliffs and water.
Natural rock pools can be seen at certain tide levels and are sometimes explored on boat trips from nearby beaches. These formations reveal the geological processes that have shaped this coastline over time.
