Description
Cabo de Santo Agostinho Cape of Saint Augustine is 35 km south of the city of Recife, Pernambuco, Brazil. Although the official Portuguese discovery of Brazil was by Pedro ÃÂlvares Cabral on April 21, 1500, some historians believe that Vicente Yáñez Pinzón already had set anchor in a bay in Cabo de Santo Agostinho on January 26, 1500, which he named Cabo de Santa MarÃÂa de la Consolación. It was incorporated as a town in 1811.Cabo de Santo Agostinho has both an industrial section that is centered on the Suape port and many tropical beaches and nature reserves. The best known beaches are Calhetas, ParaÃÂso, and Gaibu. In Pedra do Xareu one can find the Recanto do Domingos at the far south end of the beach.
