What’s the experience like?

The air outside Recife Airport felt thick with that salty Atlantic breeze, and I could already sense we were heading somewhere special. Our driver greeted us right at arrivals—no searching for signs or waiting in lines. He loaded our bags into a cool, comfortable car (AC was a lifesaver; Pernambuco gets humid fast) and off we went, weaving out of the city toward the southern coast.

About halfway through the drive, we passed the Reserva Biológica do Saltinho. The windows filled with green—dense Atlantic Forest, birds calling out above the hum of the road. Our driver pointed out sugar cane fields rolling by, explaining how Tamandaré’s history is tied to both farming and tourism. It’s funny—if you crack your window just a bit, you catch whiffs of earth and sweet grass mixed together.

Once we hit Tamandaré, it felt like time slowed down. Locals on bikes waved as we rolled past little fruit stands stacked with cashew apples and fresh coconuts. The coastline here is dotted with beaches: Tamandaré itself, Barra, Pontal do Lira, Campas—and then finally Praia dos Carneiros. That stretch of sand really does live up to its reputation; even before you step out of the car, you spot palm trees leaning over turquoise water. If you’re lucky with timing (early morning is best), you’ll see fishermen pulling in their nets while kids chase crabs along the shore.

Our driver didn’t rush us—he shared tips about visiting Forte de Santo Inácio nearby (built back in the 1600s!) and even suggested a couple of low-key beach bars where locals hang out after sunset. The whole transfer felt personal and relaxed—no crowded buses or confusion, just an easy start to exploring one of Brazil’s most beautiful stretches of coast.
