Praia da Penha, Atlantic beach in João Pessoa, Brazil.
White sand stretches along 2.93 kilometers of coastline, bordered by palm trees and met by gentle waves of clear water at Praia da Penha.
The development of Praia da Penha as a recreational destination began in the mid-20th century, parallel to João Pessoa's growth as a tourist center.
The Church of Nossa Senhora da Penha near the beach serves as a center for religious ceremonies and local gatherings throughout the year.
Visitors can find numerous food stands and restaurants serving fresh seafood along the beach, with optimal visiting conditions from September through December.
The combination of natural beach elements and religious architecture creates a meeting point between coastal leisure and spiritual practices.
