Piedade Beach and Boa Viagem Beach form one single 7-mile beach. From Edifício Marlin, there is a sidewalk/walking path that extends north the entire 7-mile length of the two beaches. Typically at high tide people use the walking path, at low tide, many walk on the beach itself.
The owners are Bob and Dalva. She is a Brazilian who was born and raised in Recife, and can be very helpful in sharing useful information about her city and culture. Bob, an American, is a former Peace Corps Volunteer who served in Brazil, and is a retired school counselor who founded "Students Helping Street Kids International", a nonprofit that provides scholarships to impoverished Brazilian kids.
