Lagoa de Praia, Beach on the northeast coast in Rio Tinto, Brazil.

Lagoa de Praia is a beach in the municipality of Rio Tinto, Paraíba, made up of several lagoons that stand out most at low tide, when they form natural pools. Between the sandstone ravines, corals can be seen in the pools, and the beach has a bluish colour.

The source records no founding date or historical events for the beach itself; its documented history is this Tupi toponym, kept in the municipality of Rio Tinto, Paraíba.
