Recife means reef in Portuguese, and it's no coincidence that a coral reef runs through the entire coastal area of the city, making diving a favorite water activity.
Water-skiing, wakeboarding, and vexsurfing are not allowed in the resort, as the coastal waters of Recife are home to sharks.
Other equally popular water games and activities include scooter rides and boat rides. Popular beach activities in Recife include soccer and volleyball on the sand.
