Tambaba beach is only 600 meters long. There are steep cliffs (in Portuguese, the word is 'falésia'), with colorful walls up to 20 meters high, along most of the beach; atop the cliffs, there are remainings of the Atlantic Forest, and several stretches of palm trees.
The sea in Tambaba is quiet, with small waves. The water is warm, and there is a permanent breeze. In some places, during the low tide, small natural swimming pools are formed, which are excellent for children.
