Paddling near Cabedelo, Paraíba

Cabedelo sits at the northern tip of a narrow peninsula in Paraíba, where the Rio Paraíba meets the Atlantic. The area is best known among paddlers for the calm, mangrove-lined waters of the Rio Paraíba, with Jacaré Marina Club — near the village of Jacaré — serving as a key base for kayaking and SUP on the river. The Dique de Cabedelo, a stone dam at the river-sea junction, marks one of the most distinctive landmarks on the local paddling circuit.
