Pirangi do Norte’s stretch of sand, which is 1.2 miles (2 kilometers) long, is longer than its southern counterpart of Pirangi do Sul.

On guided tours of the giant cashew tree, you can learn about its origins and what's responsible for its growth; there’s a small fee to enter the area.

Pirangi do Sul's calm waters make it a good option for families with children.

Pirangi Beach is a quieter alternative to nearby busy Ponta Negra Beach.
