Ponta Negra Beach

While visiting Natal, you can hardly ignore the small village of Ponta Negra, near which lies a sand strip of one of the most famous beaches in Brazil. Today it is difficult to imagine that just twenty years ago a place called Ponta Negra was a creepy slum where ordinary Brazilian fishermen lived and worked. Everything changed when a group of foreign investors decided to create a powerful tourist infrastructure here.

Today, Ponta Negra is teeming with tourists. There are many shops, hotels and houses built here, and property prices are rising every season. All this is possible due to the amazing picturesqueness of the beach, where the sand dunes merge with the purest azure sea.
