Very nice, but simple. Lots of shops with neat tourist items and some restaurants. Running the gauntlet of people trying to "sell" a parking space is annoying. Of course, Bolero at sunset is the highlight.

Nice touristic spot to see the sunset. It's basically a street following the river with bunch of small stores to buy souvenirs and food. You can park your car for free at the public designated area, but you will have an army of people trying to make your park before on their area for 5 reais. That's not a lot to pay, but if you don't want to, ignore them and park at the end on the left.

Go for the jazz, stay for the sunset!!

“Alligator Beach” is the translation of the name of this beach. It’s not much of a beach, because it actually is on the main river of the state of Paraiba (the Paraiba River, surprise!). Jacare has become famous for watching the sunset, mostly because of one man and his saxophone. Every evening, Jurandy plays Ravel’s “Bolero” to celebrate the sunset & has played this song more times than anyone else in the world (more than 4,000 times!)—he’s in the Guinness Book of World Records. The area has lots of bars, and they’re all full to watch the sunset and Jurandy playing “Bolero” in a boat in the river as the sun sets. It’s quite a spectacle & really enjoyable. The restaurants are full of spectators and the service in all the bars is quick and the food is decent. This is truly something you must do if you’re anywhere near here, and you won’t be disappointed.

Evening serenade by saxofonista at 5pm daily. Also very good handicraft market and stay for the tapiocas

Most popular sunset in Brazil. 🌅 However, if you want more beautiful ones, try Barra Grande, Bahia, or the dunes of Lençois Maranhenses. What’s special here is that the music is nice; also there are free bathrooms. Other than that it’s pretty crowded.

The most beautiful sunset in the Sertão.

Amazing Place. Best Sunset view...

This place is really beautiful and charming Come by the sun set and you will by able to hear Ravel's Bolero The sound and the sight comes together and make it a magic place There are many shopping and eating There are bars and restaurants You can go on the boat to see the sun set

Best place to watch the sunset over the Rio Paraíba! There is a saxaphone player on the river at sunset! Lots of small merchants and places to eat.

Nature is what the place has to offer, and it’s free. Don’t pay to watch the sunset from the boats. Not worth it. The boats (catamarã) won’t even move around the river. You can see and hear everything (sunset and the guy who plays Ravel’s Boléro in the saxofone) from land. Still beautiful to watch.

Perfect! Everyone should visit this place! there's a magic atmosphere on air that I can't explain! It really amazing!
