Create an itinerary including Bessa Beach
While Bessa Beach is a weekend hotspot, during the weekdays it is less crowded and takes on a more relaxed attitude. Some areas are rocky, while others sometimes are hit with strong waves, so take a stroll to find the best spot. Despite the coast's varied topography, the beach is wide and long enough that you’ll be able to find enough room to relax away from crowds and rough water. For Bessa Beach and beyond, use our Joao Pessoa trip builder tool to get the most from your Joao Pessoa vacation.
