Sun bathe in Boa Viagem beach, drink some fresh coconut water, and even play soccer or work out outside! Just watch out for the sharks!
If you like Carnaval, spend a day exploring Olinda, visiting the Bonecos Gigantes shop, have some street food at Alto da Se or Oficina do Sabor, if you prefer fine dining.
If you want to swim or snorkel, visit Porto de Galinhas, which is about 1 hour south of Recife.
If you like architecture and learning about culture and history, visit Recife Antigo. Start at Marco Zero, go on a Catamaran (boat) tour to see the city’s skyline, visit the Frevo Museum, and finish the day eating and drinking at a bar near Rua da Moeda.
Great live music with a view of Recife Antigo!
