Praia del Chifre is a beach located in Olinda, within the Recife metropolitan area of Brazil. It is the first beach along the Olinda coast and offers a picturesque view of the city of Recife across the water. The beach is characterized by clean waters and is known for having good waves, which suggests a shore-break is present. This wave activity indicates that launching and landing paddlecraft from the sand will require skill and timing, suitable for experienced paddlers comfortable in surf conditions. The beach is situated adjacent to Praia dos Milagres and is within walking distance of other local beaches like Praia de Olinda, suggesting a connected coastline that could be explored via a paddle trip. A significant and critical safety consideration for paddlers at Praia del Chifre is the documented and repeated presence of sharks. Multiple shark attack incidents have occurred at this beach, including fatal and non-fatal encounters. This represents a severe and inherent hazard for any in-water activity. In response to these dangers, the beach has been the focus of state-run aquatic safety campaigns, highlighting the recognized risk. The overall character of the beach is recreational, set within an urban coastal area with historical significance, as it is referenced in relation to Olinda's Historic Site. The aesthetic is offering a scenic urban vista.
