Beautiful area, highly recommend hiring a dune buggy and driver to explore the area for a couple of hours.

A must when visiting Natal. Highly recommend to hire a bug to explore it. Go for the adventure mode.

Definitely one of the most beautiful places I've ever been

Amazing

Natal, a splendid sea city located in the warmest part of Brazil, the northeast, with astonishing, sandy white beaches, including its most popular one, the PRAIA PONTA NEGRA, easily recognizable by its landmark MORRO DO CARECA (Brazilian for "the bald hill"). The water temperature in this part of the land, is the best thing that your body and soul can experience, being perfectly warm all year around. Outside the water you've got a tropical-wet climate with the ocean breeze mitigating the, otherwise, oppressive heat. Probably my favorite kind of climate. Praia Ponta Negra is a very pretty urban-beach, with its beautiful promenade, palm trees and delicious bars and restaurants. All you have to do is grab a coconut from a local seller, put your canga (Brazilian for beach towel) on the white, soft sand, call a local masseur (scattered all over the beach) that will give you the best relaxing moments and then go for a swim in the warm ocean. To end a perfect day, go to a restaurant by the beach, and eat one of the best sea food in Brazil. I definitely recommend trying the "caranguejo", which means crab. If you happen to be in Natal, Ponta Negra is a fantastic must!

Fantastic place to visit at night. Beautiful clean beach with nice restaurants to visit by day and with good bus or taxi links to central Natal & hotels on Via Costeira .

I lived in the Ponta Negra area for a year and all I can say about this place is that it's amazing and I will always miss it. The beach can be a bit croweded sometimes but it's totally worth the visit.

Very nice ocean beach with nice waves.

Nice beach, however, vendors can be irritating.

Loved this beach. Overall it was relatively clean but varies depending on where you are on the beach. Areas that less people frequent are cleaner. The nice part about this beach is that it is so long, nice sand, smooth walk into the water with a sandy bottom, nice waves, and no shortage of food and drink options.

Ponta Negra Beach takes its name from the surrounding neighborhood in the city of Natal. The name (“black point”) derives from the dark stones that are found along this beach. The beach is about 2.4 miles long (4 kilometers) and at its southernmost end, is bordered by a large sand dune (390 feet tall) known as Morro do Careca (“bald hill” in Portuguese). The waters in this part are very calm & ideal for taking a dip. If you like surfing, stand-up or kite-surfing, different parts of the beach are ideal for these sports. The turquoise water here is very clean. This beach is also very popular because it is located near many hotels and pousadas, restaurants, bars & food stalls. There’s activity here day and night. If you want, you can walk the length of the beach along its wide paved path or rent a bicycle. Another reason for the popularity of this beach is the warm water—it’s about 82°F (28°C) all year-round. If you’re visiting the city of Natal, it will be hard for you not to find yourself on or near this beach, and you will be glad that you visited it too.

This beach is nice, right in Natal. 45 Minutes south is Pipa, where the beaches tend to be cleaner. However, there are some nice hotels, bed and breakfasts and resorts in Natal that look quite nice. This beach was very fun and busy, excellent beach side service, most beach side vendors will go out of their way to bring whatever you want, for a price of course, though reasonable in the end.

It was,a bit disorganized but okay. The food was nice. Too many people wanting to do the same things where it puts a burden on the environment.

Great place with good food and a amazing view. Tou can hire a boat ride with scuba diving or a ticycle ride. I strongly recommend both.

One of the most beautiful beaches I visited in brasil, clean and amazing sea

Nice beach to visit and surf. Close to the dunes, it offers a beautiful visual. It can get pretty dirty, though, cause people often drop waste on the sand... There could be more trash bins to try to encourage people to discard their waste properly (although this is no excuse).

Warm water, unforgettable water color, the sand feels good when stepping on. Nature presents beautiful as itself.

Super top

Lots of sand, salt, and sun. If you're looking for beach, this one is very nice.

Fantastic incredibly beautiful seaside village about half an hour north by road from Natal's bridges across Rio Potengi from Natal, Rn. Beautiful safe to bathe beach lined with lots of beachside restaurants good for fish or meat dishes. Dunes above beach are awesome and maybe climbed by athletic & sure footed or tours led by buggy drivers available from US $60 through dunes from Genipabu village or from around US $ 100 from Natal. Tours may continue on to Pitangui & Cape Riangha eastern most point of Rio Grande do Norte state. In rainy season April to early August ;Genipabu near & after sunset is especially famous for it's mosquitos which seem to be a particular curse for fair skinned visitors. Hotel Genipabu high in hills with its own swimming pool tends to avoid the problems with mosquitos. Visitors should also try by car or buggy try the raft ferry at nearby Gracendu & see the seaside mansions of Natal's political elite. At weekends & in January & February village maybe at times crowded but midweek visits are usually quieter & much more rewarding.

A “must visit” quando for a Natal.

Note! My photos are older, before renovation took place! Great historical place, currently renovated which has given the whole building a new life! A great place to take photos, with a wonderful beach next to it and natural pools. A wonderful piece of history! Daytime sightseeing is recommended as the site is away from everything. Cultural heritage site!

Beautiful place, an oportunity to comeback to the past and feel the magic of this fort!!

It’s a nice historical place to visit. The panoramic view is amazing.

Unfortunately the place was closed but there was no information about it. Only a sign said that it would open in December 2018. Also our driver told us to be careful as there are hobos around. It is a nice place, but we were very disappointed as it took us two extra rides to get there and then the gates were closed.

A really nice tourist attraction (they close the at 4pm) and the best spot for you to take a nice picture of Newton Navarro bridge. I really recommend you to stay until the sundown.

The long path you walk down to get to the fort is pretty, it's a shame that all I heard was that it wasn't the safest thing to do. The security people said it was generally safe before 5 PM.

The very best pizza of Natal! Incredibly friendly servers. Great toppings and crust! 👏👏👏🍕

Average beach...Ok for a walk and some photos, but not the greatest beach by far.

If you like low income people, that's the place for you.

Great place to visit, get a dolphin tour at the beach and you will have a great view

Amazing beach with many chairs rentals and food vendors bring everything to your table. Water is calm and great swimming

Go to the end of the beach where the sales man don't have easy access. There you will find a calmer, cleaner and peaceful space to relax. In general the beach is very noisy and full of people saling you things. No jokes, all the time! But it still possible to find areas to relax and enjoy. The water is clean (considering that you are in front of a big city) and the safety feeling is good enough. I recommend it as an afternoon walk for couples or solo travelers.

Morro do Careca (“bald hill” in Portuguese) is the main symbol of the city of Natal and the state of Rio Grande do Norte. It measures 120 meters (390 ft.). In the past, Morro do Careca was a spot for recreation and entertainment. The bathers and tourists would climb up the hill and come down with the help of a device called skibunda (“bunda” is Portuguese for “butt”—you’d sit on a board and ski down the slope). Since the end of the 1990s, it has been closed to visitors. The reason for the closure was to protect the dunes; the preservation of the vegetation will aid in safeguarding against erosion, ensuring that the sand does not slip and thus reduce the height of the hill. At present, all activity on the dune remains suspended. The scene also brings together a sea full of bathers, surfers, windsurfers and kitesurfers, in addition to the stand-up paddle crowd. It is frequented by locals and tourists, who fill the tents on the boardwalk and the shore. The best spot for bathing is in the right corner, between the end of the boardwalk and Morro do Careca. There, the sea is calmer and also has the long-time restaurant, the Old Five Beach Bar.

Cool location just south of the downtown area.

Amazing park with tracking courses, playground, music, pic nic area, nature etc ... really big in the middle of parque das dunas. Need to be done.

Great place for family walking, sports and celebrating. Tables for picnic, meetings and an open theater.

Organized, clean, well equipped: this is a great option for those who wish to spend quality time with family and friends. There are many playgrounds for the kids, different pathways for running/walking. You can invite your friends and have a picnic. There are bathrooms and drinking fountains. If you schedule previously a guide will take you through trails in the Dunas Reserve.

Hiking trails are only open on certain days and you must prebook, which was not clear. We also were told to turn back on another walking trail by a security guard. Overall very disappointing experience (although I'm sure its lovely if you prebook). Finally, after realising that we could not do any of the hikes, we discovered that there is no beer at the cafe - that was the nail in the coffin and this place gets a poor score from me.

It is an amazing park. You can either go for a walk or you could spend time reading a book among the trees. There are trails too, but you need reservations for that.

Very nice environment. We could learn about some native animals and plants, and take a nice walk around the place.

A beautiful park close to downtown Natal. It's worth a stroll with lots of shad trees

It's a very beautiful beach, but very dangerous because it's not safe for people to enjoy the place. You have to constantly watch for cars driving on the sand as I'd it were a road. I do not recommend it, specially if you have children. It's a beautiful place but unfortunatly not safe.

A “must visit” quando for a Natal.

The place has always looked like it was done with no idea how or for what. Tbh it is quiet ugly and boring, everything looks old and not even renovated. A waste of time to stop here.

Nice place to visit and learn about the recent Brazilian space artifacts and missions. It's worth to visit.

The stadium is a beautiful stadium but there are a lot of things that can make it nicer. Let's score board on a shows the score it does not show any times or anything like that and USA scoreboards show scores of other games, how much time is left in the game and other things like that. Overall it is a beautiful stadium in a nice place to watch a futebol match, but make a real score and stats board.....

It was my first time ever at Arena das Dunas Stadium. It was a rock concert. Everything went smoothly. The football stadium is a good enough venue for music concerts, too.

Amazing architecture. Great space. I went there for a couple of events and it was great. Every Sundays there is a dog exhibition. This time for festival do sol it was unique. Great experience. Next time a football game.

BOX 84...is da shizzle for all ur machines that need some BHP and bright lites with upgrade HIFI

Amazing place and great estructure. I watched a game of potiguar championship and it was an amazing experience. I hope returning soon.

This isn't just a stadium. The arena offers a lot of options of entertainment and also offers some options for business.

Big shopping center in tirol many options on food entertainment and clothing. Easy to access via bus or taxi or uber.

Amazing! You can buy almost everything! But you'll be charged for the parking lot.

It is a good mall, you can find restaurants and shops to fulfill your needs

This is the biggest and best mall of Natal. It has plenty of stores and you'll find pretty much anything you need in here. The food court is huge and has a big variety of food. The movie theater is also good, just make sure to buy your tickets in advance or you might have to wait in line, especially on the weekends. Oh, best of all, parking is free. Great experience overall.

The largest Mall in Natal, Midway is certainly the best in the area. It has a huge 6-story parking garage, where you can park FOR FREE. That’s the only mall where you can do that. The others are smaller and with high parking fees. Midway is far from perfect, but it is the place to go if you want to find anything to buy, grab a snack or even watch a movie in movie theater.

It's the best mall....I am happy because I found everything I wanted....

What a shopping mall, it is huge, and the ground floor is amazing. Must be visited.

It’s a good mall, the best thing is the restaurant options. There are so many options of food.

Large variety of things to see and purchase. Great food arenas and a relaxed atmosphere. Recently they decided to add payment for parking which is disappointing but rhe mall is still great.

The biggest mall in Natal. You can find most stores, restaurants, supermarket, theaters.

Perfect mall you will find everything in one place.
