Ponta do Seixas

Ponta do Seixas (Portuguese pronunciation: [ˈpõtɐ du ˈsejʃɐs]), is a beach on the Atlantic coast of Paraíba state, northeastern Brazil, that forms the easternmost point of the American double-continent, roughly 8 km (5 mi) southeast of João Pessoa, the state capital.

It lies on the coastal highway connecting João Pessoa and the port of Cabedelo farther north.

Opened in 1972, the Cabo Branco Lighthouse has a unique triangular shape in the country.

From the Lighthouse, visitors have a privileged and surprising view of a large part of the coastline of João Pessoa.

[2] A very common mistake that foreigners do is to confuse Cabo Branco with Ponta dos Seixas.
