Description:
This is a major port whose entrance is protected by a 3.2 km (two-mile) long concrete breakwater. The city is threaded by many rivers and has a huge number of bridges.
Entrance Notes and Cautions:
The harbor entrance is most easily identified by the cargo ships which are often anchored outside the entrance. Once through the harbor entrance turn to port and follow along with the breakwater.
There is a risk of shark attacks in and around Recife and many public beaches have nets to prevent sharks from entering the swimming areas. Swimming at isolated beaches or in open water should be avoided.
