About Tambaba
Tambaba is a beach in Paraíba, Brazil, located near Praia de Tambaba, which is 337 meters away. The beach has a sandy surface and spans 537 meters in length. OpenStreetMap lists three parking areas within 500 meters of the beach.
Tambaba is an official nudist beach in Brazil, located on the Atlantic coast 20 km (12 mi) south of João Pessoa and 115 km (71 mi) north of Recife, at 7°21′57″S 34°47′50″W. In Tambaba, one must be nude in the family area (the main part of the beach). Around the periphery of the beach, nudism is optional.
Tambaba is a short beach, about 1 km (0.6 mi). Until recently, the final access road was unpaved. However, as part of the regional infrastructure development, the Ministro Abelardo Jurema highway (PB-008) has been completed and the route is paved from João Pessoa to Tambaba. The beach sits in the municipality of Pitambui in the state of Paraiba and is considered one of the best beaches in Brazil. While famous for its nudist beach, it also has a public beach without nudism.
