Natal attractions

Baia Formosa (Beautiful Bay) is a quaint fishing village in Brazil’s Rio Grande do Norte state that boasts colorful architecture and excellent surfing. Discover the storybook views and healing waters of Coca Cola Lagoon (Lagoa da Coca-Cola), and travel to hidden beaches, lush Atlantic forests, and mangroves.

Home to its own private beach and less than an hour from downtown Natal, Manoa Park is a one-stop-shop for family entertainment. From ziplining and beach volleyball to water slides and boat cruises, there’s something for all ages here.

Surrounded by sand dunes and lush greenery, Lagoa de Jacumã serves as both a scenic body of water and an adventure playground. Along with swimming in its clear waters, you can enjoy an aerial view of it as you soar over the surface on a zipline that ends with a plunge into the lagoon.

Known for its shifting sands and freshwater lagoons, the beach village of Genipabu attracts travelers who come for adventure on the rolling dunes. The winds shifting across the sand means that the landscape of Genipabu is always changing. The sands pile up into dunes that rise and fall, creating ridges and mounds across the shores and eventually plunging into the sea.
