International cuisine is available as well as succulent fish dishes typical of the region.  Fresh coconut water is available practically anywhere in  Recife, straight from the shell. Just beyond is Piedade Beach, and farther out, the unspoiled beaches of Tamandaré,  São José da Coroa Grande, Maria Farinha and Porto de Galinhas. They say the sun shines brighter in Recife than anywhere else, and Recife's beaches are undoubtedly among the loveliest in the Northeast.  Especially pleasant are the pools of warm, clear waters that often form along the sands due to the action of the waves and tide.  Porto de Galinhas Beach is indeed very beautiful.
