Tambaba is a beach in Conde county, Paraíba, Brazil.
Tambaba is an official nudist beach. It means that, while elsewhere in Brazil people are generally prohibited to be naked in public places, in Tambaba you 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 little beach (about 1 km), with very beautiful scenery. Until very recently, the final access road was unpaved. Now, however, the Ministro Abelardo Jurema highway (PB-008) has been completed and the route is paved from João Pessoa to Tambaba.
Distances:
- Recife (115 km south)
- João Pessoa, (40 km north)
