> Ponta Negra beach
The Ponta Negra beach, Natal postcard, got this name due to the rocky dark formations on its bay extremity. It became the place of the tourist concentration activity in Natal.
|
It goes from these famous black stones until the beginning of the Via Costeira beaches, passing by Morro do Careca (The Bald Dune), a dune 80 meters high, surrounded by vegetation and closed since the end of the 80s to protect the vegetation and allow the fixation of the dune.
Nearby 'Morro do Careca' the sea is quiet while in the center and more to the north the waves are strong and appreciated by surfers. |
