Via Costeira

Via Costeira, which means Coastal Road, is a stretch of road 10 kilometers long that goes from Praia dos Artistas all the way to Ponta Negra. While Natal beach resorts alongside this strip are great for bathing and strolling, the 5-star luxury accommodations can be very expensive in this area.

Ponta Negra is the most popular of Natal beach resorts. Most of the city’s visitors and local residents prefer this beach resort for its excellent water quality and comfortable yet affordable accommodations. It offers visitors numerous dining places, shops, and other beachfront amenities. This 4-kilometer long beach is also known for Morro do Careca, Natal’s tallest sand dune and most recognized landmark.

You’ll be spoiled for choice for Ponta Negra’s wonderful dining and drinking places. Like most Natal beach resorts, you can use the kiosks’ tables and chairs with purchase, or rent them for a small fee. Be sure to negotiate beforehand.

You may prefer to whiz wildly along the dunes by hiring a sand buggy and driver. Or you may want to take trip slowly and more relaxed by riding a dromedary camel. Any way you do it, you’ll have a memorable experience to take home with you.

If you prefer to stay on the beach, you can enjoy great-tasting food at Restaurante 21, a very popular go-to dining place in Genipabu. You can also rent a board and perform some sandboarding moves. The best ones include sliding down the sand dunes and landing in the ocean waters.
