For me this is The best of Natal. Must go, must see, must have fun! I loved it. Dislike...O liked it!
Some of the most beautiful dunes I have ever seen.
This is representative enough of Brazil North coast crowded with huge dunes, wild beaches and caju trees.
Genipabu was a little over-rated. The way to the village was not pleasant (dirty, uncared for etc)
We had very high expectations about this place, since in printed material, videos and others it seemed to be one step before paradise. Howecer, as in many other places of Rio Grande do Norte, we were desappointed by the primitivity of the infrastructure and for the lack of a decent place to stay. The same, as in other beaches we visited, noisy beach shore where loud portable sound boxes, beach sellers and (specially here) jeep roar mix to make your beach time a horrendous experience. There are excursions of lower social level tourists whose paper cups, bottles, plastic bags and all kind of detrits are left on the sand for you to see and for the flies to visit. We definitely found only one decent place in Rio Grande do Norte that could be considered an international attraction, that is Praia de Pipa, to the south of the state. If your thing is a lot os sand, noisy and ugly people and a lot of dirt, this maybe your place, if not, head to Praia de Pipa.
big dunes, white sand, coconut trees, lakes and sea. Not built by man. It's already there before us.
Beautiful place, Great "bugue" ride. The view is amazing, the dunes and the lake on one side and the sea on the other. Go on and visit the lakes, Lagoa de Jacumã e Pitangui where you can Try the "esquibunda" ( something like skiing on your butts) where you sit on a wooden board and go down the dunes and stop into the water, or aerobunda , where you sit on a cable chair, go down and jump , falling into the water.
It is wonderful, great beach, nice sand, hot hot sun, warm water, quiet, good people, nice food... It is one of the places that even brazillians goes on vacation. To know Brazil, you must visit all northeast beaches.
There's nothing to dislike on these beaches, sorry... Warm sea, good food, nice buggy rides :) If something, the beaches don't have a life-safer on duty, so don't take chances on swimming to far into the ocean.
The ride from the hotel to the dunes is amazing. Wonderful beaches are on the way and the boogy gives you the chance to enjoy the wind on your face.
