ADVENTURE DAY - LUCENA BEACH / DIA DE AVENTURA - PRAIA DE LUCENA (EN/PT)

Hello fellow adventurers, today was an incredible day. I took a motorcycle trip to the famous Lucena beach, a city located in the North of Brazil and neighboring the capital of Paraíba, João Pessoa. It may seem like something common, but it is the first time I have taken such a long trip by motorcycle. I usually prioritize cars for this type of trip. However, influenced by some family members who are visiting our city, we took this super trail along paths that I would never have dreamed of taking.

The advantage of the motorcycle is its size and mobility. You can travel through spaces that a car would never be able to go through, in addition to the ease of parking. Today was a totally unusual trip. My cousin called me last night inviting me to go to João Pessoa. He wanted to take a ride there, just to see it. It had been more than 10 years since he had visited the Northeast. I agreed and we decided to go on a motorcycle trip, as it would be easier to show other tourist attractions along the way. The trip started at 4:30 am, we left the main route and made our first stop at Baía Formosa beach, the place was practically empty, of course, it wasn't even 6 am. Anyway, we continued on our way again.

On the way we went to visit another beach, Barra de Camaratuba, it's a very beautiful beach, however, most of the stalls were closed due to the time. I couldn't resist, I took a dip in the sea and continued for to João Pessoa, on the way, I convinced my cousin to visit the famous Lucena beach, a city located next to the capital João Pessoa. The beach itself is beautiful, it has a small, welcoming village and its waters are calm, perfect for a family swim. Something interesting about Lucena is the direct access to the capital via a ferry that can carry people, cars and motorcycles, unfortunately we didn't do this tour, we focused on the local culture.

Something incredible that I discovered on this tour was the specific "Caminho de Moisés" (Moses' Path), located on Praia do Holandês, known as Ponta de Lucena, a place where the tide low and you can walk on the sands of the ocean. This experience was so incredible that it won't leave my memory. I thought I would walk directly on the water and left my cell phone on the motocycle, but I regretted it. I could have taken incredible photos. The path that opens into the sea is so big and wide that you can go by car or motorcycle. As an inexperienced hiker, I paid someone to store the motocycles at his house, which was stressful.

The place looks like a miracle of nature. When the tide is low, you walk about 2.5 km into the sea on a sandy area. I've heard of several "Caminhos de Moisés" (Moses' Paths) on other beaches, but this one on the specific one is another reality. Come and see for yourself!
