In February 2026, the city of Recife celebrated the launch of the 27th edition of the Praia Limpa initiative, a project aimed at promoting environmental awareness and keeping the beaches clean. This year, despite overcast weather, the event saw a lively turnout with locals, tourists, and organizers participating in various activities along the famous Boa Viagem beach. Volunteers distributed paper bags to beachgoers, reinforcing the message that a clean beach is a beautiful beach.

Praia Limpa has become a beloved tradition for the community, and this year's launch was filled with engaging activities such as swimming, beach walks, and colorful umbrellas dotting the shoreline. The involvement of local vendors and environmental monitors provided a vibrant atmosphere, encouraging more sustainable practices among visitors to the area. This collaboration aims not only at cleaning the beaches but also at instilling a sense of responsibility regarding environmental care.

The initiative aligns with broader efforts to promote sustainability and protect natural resources, which are crucial for the local economy reliant on tourism. With the ongoing participation of residents and tourists alike, Praia Limpa continues to foster a communal spirit and appreciation for the coastal environment, ensuring that the beaches of Recife remain a desirable destination for years to come.
