Lonely Planet review for Ponta Negra

Ponta Negra, at the far south end of the city, is the nicest beach in Natal - nearly 3km long and full of hotels, pousadas, restaurants, beach bars, surfers and sailing boats. On weekends it gets pretty packed: the northern part of the beach, with its pedestrian-only walkway, is less crowded. The surf here is consistent if small: you can rent boards from a few places along the beach for around R$25 a day. At the south end of the beach is Morro da Careca, a spectacularly high sand dune with a steep face that drops straight into the sea. Access to the dune has been closed off to prevent further erosion and damage to the primary Atlantic rain forest that covers it.

    The variety is amazing!...

    ... specially from vendors passing by... you don't need to go to the mall to buy from handcraft jewelry to hammocks (usually handmade). Very good cost too. The drinks can be served while you are chilling on the sand and the people are very friendly...
