Fishing near Cabedelo, Paraíba

Cabedelo sits at the tip of a peninsula in Paraíba state, where the Rio Paraíba do Norte meets the Atlantic Ocean at the easternmost point of South America. That geography concentrates fish year-round: the river's estuary and mangrove edges hold robalo and tarpon in brackish water, the Píer de Cabedelo is a go-to shore-fishing spot for xaréu, pescada, and tainha, and the continental shelf drops sharply roughly 40 km offshore, putting big-game pelagics within reach of a half-day run.
