Barra de Gramame Sul beach, Coastal beach in Conde, Brazil.

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.

The name comes from the mouth of the Gramame River, which separates João Pessoa from Conde; the beach on the Conde side is called Sul, while the João Pessoa side is Barra de Gramame Norte. Food stalls along the sand serve seafood, and buggy rides are permitted on this stretch of coast.

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.

The beach sits on the right bank of the Gramame River, which forms the municipal boundary between João Pessoa and Conde; the beach on the opposite, left bank is Barra de Gramame Norte, in João Pessoa. The two beaches therefore belong to different municipalities despite sharing the same river mouth.
