Barra de Gramame Sul beach

Barra de Gramame Sul is a beach where the Gramame River flows into the Atlantic Ocean, creating a sandy shore with gentle slopes. The area features natural pools and zones where river and ocean waters mix, offering multiple swimming possibilities.

The beach emerged as a destination in the late 20th century when tourism began reaching the Paraíba coast. This shift brought changes to a place that had long been centered on fishing and local living.

Fishing nets and boats scattered along the shore show how deeply the ocean shapes daily life here. The way locals move through the space reflects a way of living tied to the water and its resources.

The best swimming areas change with the tides, as natural pools become visible at low tide and create calmer zones. Morning visits offer the most settled water conditions and the safest environment for swimming.

Where the river and ocean waters meet, visible color shifts occur in the water, changing in appearance throughout the day. This natural boundary line is a striking visual element that shows how different waters exist side by side without immediately blending.
