Praia de Majorlândia
Beach
Nature & Parks
Praia de Majorlândia is a hidden gem that offers a serene escape for those seeking tranquility away from the bustling tourist spots. While it may not provide stunning sunset views, the dusk sky paints a beautiful backdrop against its striking cliffs. This cozy beach is home to a friendly community of native fishermen and boasts rich cultural history, including the art of sand sculptures. With limited beach huts, it maintains an intimate atmosphere perfect for family getaways.
(Translated by Google) Cozy and wonderful place.
I spent the weekend with my family and it was great.
The place has a lot of attractions for food and places to stay.
Not to mention that the city is safe and clean.

(Translated by Google) By far one of the worst beaches I've ever been to, lots of people with bad looks, the environment doesn't feel safe, I don't recommend it for families. The beach is dirty, because it's frequented by rude people.
(Original)
de longe uma das piores praia que já fui, muita gente mal encarada, o ambiente você não sente segurança, não recomendo para família. praia sujo, por que e frequentado por pessoas mal educadas.
(Translated by Google) It's so beautiful, peaceful and perfect for taking the family.

(Translated by Google) Great beach, very busy weekend, the food is very tasty, I recommend the muqueca de arraiá, it's delicious.
(Original)
Ótima praia, final de semana bastante movimentado, a comida é muito gostosa, indico a muqueca de arraiá uma delícia.
(Translated by Google) Majorlândia Beach is very pleasant.
With slightly choppy waves, a relatively narrow strip of sand, good water quality and clean sand.
There are fishermen's rafts to watch. It is calm in terms of safety and the flow of bathers. It is good for outdoor sports, such as soccer or beach volleyball. It has small stretches of coral, which can be easily bypassed.
It has little commercial infrastructure, for example, not being possible to buy water on the shore at the beginning of the day.
It has a good view of the sea, from its dunes, excellent for enjoying the sunset. It is more affordable than neighboring Canoa Quebrada. Therefore, it is a good option for groups of tourists or families who have accommodation infrastructure in one of the many houses for rent.
(Original)
Praia de Majorlândia é bem agradável.
Com ondas levemente agitadas, faixa de areia relativamente estreita, de boa qualidade de água e areia limpa.
Tem jangadas de pescadores para se observar. É tranquila quanto a segurança e fluxo de banhistas. Boa para realizar esportes ao ar livre, como futebol ou vôlei de praia. Possui pequenos trechos de corais, que podem ser facilmente contornados.
Possui pouca infraestrutura comercial, não sendo possível, por exemplo a compra de água na orla no período do início do dia.
Tem boa vista para o mar, de suas dunas, excelentes para apreciar o pôr do sol. É de maior acessibilidade econômica comparada a vizinha Canoa Quebrada. Sendo assim uma boa opção para grupos de turistas ou famílias que possuam infraestrutura de hospedagem em uma das muitas casas a se alugar.
(Translated by Google) Pure magic wonderful holiday

Magia pura ferias maravilhosa
(Translated by Google) The beach does not allow you to see the sunset. However, the sky is beautiful at dusk. There are not many options for “beach huts”. However, for those who like a quiet place, it can be a good option. From the shore, you can see beautiful cliffs. It is not as touristy as Canoa Quebrada, but that does not mean that it should not be an option on your tourist itinerary.
(Original)
A praia não permite ver o por do sol. Mas os céu fica lindo ao crepúsculo. Não há muitas opções de “barracas de praia”. Mas, para quem gosta de um lugar calmo pode ser uma boa opção. Pela orla é possível visualizar belas falésias. Não é turística como Canoa Quebrada, mas isso não significa que não deva ser uma opção em seu roteiro turístico.
(Translated by Google) In addition to being a clean, beautiful, and mixed beach, this is a colony of native fishermen, it has one of the best leisure spots in eastern Ceará, Majorlandia is pure history, the birthplace of the art of colored sands, sand sculpture, not to mention the labyrinth knitting, not to mention the native people, polite, hospitable and welcoming... My place of refuge!

(Translated by Google) Ponta Grossa Beach in Icapuí is a great option for those who like more secluded/calmer beaches. The place is beautiful and has an incredible sunset over the dunes! At the restaurant located very close to the beach, you can take a buggy and quad bike ride. The buggy ride includes several beaches in the region and is a two-hour ride, ending at the dunes; the ride costs on average 200/250 reais (payments accepted in cash and by debit/credit card). The company I used for the tour was Canaã Turismo and the buggy driver was very attentive.
(Original)
A praia de ponta grossa em Icapuí é uma ótima opção para quem gosta de praias mais reservadas/mais calmas. O lugar é lindo e tem um pôr do sol nas dunas que é incrível! No restaurante que se localiza bem próximo a praia tem a opção de passeio de Buggy e de quadriciclo. O passeio de Buggy contempla várias praia da região e são mais de duas horas de passeio, finalizando nas dunas; o passeio custa em média 200/250 reais( Aceita pagamentos a vista e no cartão de débito/crédito). A empresa que fiz o passeio foi a Canaã Turismo e o motorista do Buggy foi super atencioso.
(Translated by Google) There are natural pools, but with rocks, a good walk with beautiful landscapes, a lot of seaweed on the beach can be smelly, but only for a short space before Ponta Grossa beach.
It is best to take a buggy ride for up to 3 hours in the morning, and if the tide is low you can go along the beach.
There is no place near the beach with infrastructure that offers shops, restaurants, swimming pools...
(Original)
Tem piscinas naturais, porém com pedras, bom passeio com belas paisagens, muitas algas na praia podem ter mau cheiro, mas apenas por um pequeno espaço antes da praia de Ponta Grossa.
Melhor fazer passeio de Buggy por até 3 horas durante a manhã, e se estiver com maré baixa dá pra ir pela beira das praias.
Não tem local próximo da praia com infraestrutura que ofereça lojinhas, restaurante, piscina...
(Translated by Google) Ponta Grossa Beach in Icapuí, a beautiful natural cliff that will leave you speechless. There is no infrastructure for beach huts, so the beach is calm, especially at sunset. In the morning, there are some people selling drinks and snacks; the shrimp barbecue is delicious!
A great beach for taking pictures, thanks to its landscape.
(Original)
Praia de Ponta Grossa em Icapuí, uma beleza de falésias naturais de nos deixar boquiabertos. Não há infraestrutura de barracas por isso a praia é calma principalmente no período do por do sol. Pela manhã existe algumas pessoas vendendo bebidas e petiscos, o churrasquinho de camarão é delicioso!
ótima praia para fotografar, graça a sua paisagem.
(Translated by Google) A place with lush nature, where you can see everything from dunes to the seashore, cliffs, reefs and the view provided by the movement of the tides. When the tide is low, if you head to the right, you can access Redonda beach. In Ponta Grossa, you have options for restaurants, accommodation, buggy rides, quad bike rides and more. I had the opportunity to have lunch, and the fish was very well served and at a fair price. A very good place to spend a weekend.
(Original)
Um local com a natureza exuberante, onde você pode observar desde dunas a beira mar, falésias, recifes e o visual proporcionado pelo movimento das marés. Quando a maré está baixa, se seguimos para a direita, conseguimos acessar a praia da Redonda. Em Ponta Grossa você tem opções de restaurantes, hospedagem, passeio de Buggy, de quadriciclo entre outras coisas. Tive a oportunidade de almoçar, e o peixe era muito bem servido e com o preço justo. Local muito bom para passar um fds.
(Translated by Google) A fantastic place, where nature reveals its fullness! In Ponta Grossa we can experience incredible experiences: trails in the mangroves and dunes, contemplating the manatees, buggy and boat rides and visits to the archaeological collection. In addition, it is imperative to enjoy a relaxing bath in the calm sea. Ponta Grossa has a good lodging and food structure.
(Original)
Um lugar fantástico, onde a natureza revela sua plenitude! Em Ponta Grossa podemos vivenciar experiêncis incríveis: trilhas no mangue e na duna, contemplar os Peixes-boi marinhos, passeios de bugre e de barco e visita ao acervo arqueológico. No mais, é imperativo aproveitar o relaxante banho no mar de aguas calmas. Ponta Grossa possui uma boa estrutura de hospedagem e alimentação.
(Translated by Google) I loved the beach. It's a paradise-like and well-preserved place. There you can find lobster skewers and boat trips that take you to see the fish. Just one thing to keep in mind: Do this trip between 8 and 9 in the morning, because when the tide is high it's not a good trip. You can get hurt because of the corals, you swallow a lot of water and the guides encourage you to do it later, but it's not comfortable or safe for you. I have bruises on both arms and my back because I hurt myself, and I cut my toe.
(Original)
Amei a praia. Um lugar paradisíaco e preservado. Nela a gente encontra espetiNho de lagosta e passeios de barco onde nos levam p ver os peixinhos. Só uma observação : Façam esse passeio 8..9 hs da manha, pois qdo a maré enche não fica legal o passeio. A gente se machuca, por conta dos corais, a gente engole bastante agua e os guias ficam incentivando a gente a fazê-lo em horários tarde , mas que não fica confortável e seguro p gente. Estou com os dois braços roxos e costa , pois me machuquei, e dedo do Pe cortado.

(Translated by Google) The view is spectacular, and the walk through the mangroves is sensational!
You might even spot some crabs along the way!
I was just a little apprehensive because there's a sign warning you not to cross, but people still use it!
I got the impression that the walkway structure isn't being maintained!
(Original)
A vista é espetacular e o percurso por dentro do mangue é sensacional!
É possível até ver alguns caranguejos durante o caminho!
Só fiquei com receio pois possui uma placa de interdição na frente, mesmo assim as pessoas acessam normalmente!

Márcio V — Google review
Beautiful Arquitectura and wonderful mountains view. The Castle is an incredible place to explore, It feels like you are inside a Maze where you can get lost inside and feel like you’re in a different place like Europe Middle Ages times. There’s two issues I think they need to address.
First is concerning HEALTH ISSUES, because a lot of the passages and Labyrinths are full of Bat poop. “That the management easily could clean with a blower” or I recommend the visitors to wear a mask for precautions.
The Second is a suggestion to provide a map for the visitors with the information and history of the place in Portuguese- English- and Spanish.
In general my family and I had a great time exploring the place!
I wish more foreigners visit the Castle!

(Translated by Google) Zé dos Montes Castle is located 90 km from the city of Natal - RN.
The medieval castle-style building took 39 years to build and is located on a solid rock at the top of Serra da Tapuia, in the municipality of Sítio Novo, boasting a postcard-worthy view.
The access is via a stretch of approximately 8 km of cobblestones interspersed with a small part of clay.
The access is well signposted. The city is very small and deserted. In some places I had no internet signal (I use Claro), but I was able to get to the castle easily because the place is well signposted.
The castle is far from the city center. We paid 25 reais per person, but I found it expensive for what it offers. There is no guided tour, and I got confused between the many entrances and exits of the castle's corridors. Some areas inside the castle are quite dark and there are bats, which can give you butterflies in your stomach, but it's definitely worth the experience because it provides beautiful photos and if you're sensitive, you can feel many sensations along the way.
I visited on a Sunday, and it was very hot. I suggest taking a bottle of water to stay hydrated.
There's a convenience store there that sells snacks, juices, coconut water, souvenirs and literature about the castle, as well as a banner telling the story of the castle.
(Original)
O Castelo Zé dos Montes fica a 90 km da cidade de Natal - RN.
A edificação no estilo castelo medieval passou 39 anos sendo construída e fica localizada sobre uma sólida rocha no topo da Serra da Tapuia, no município de Sítio Novo, ostentando um visual digno de cartão postal.
O acesso conta com um trecho de aproximadamente 8 km em paralelepípedo intercalado com uma pequena parte em barro.
O acesso é bem sinalizado. A cidade é bem pequena e deserta. Em alguns locais fiquei sem sinal de internet ( uso a operadora Claro) mas deu pra chegar tranquilamente no Castelo porque o local é bem sinalizado.
O castelo fica longe do centro da cidade. Pagamos o valor de 25 reais por pessoa, porem achei o valor caro para o que oferece. Nao tem visita guiada, cheguei a ficar confusa entre as muitas entradas e saídas dos corredores do castelo. Alguns locais dentro do castelo sao bem sombrios e tem morcegos, o que deixa a gente com um friozinho na barriga, mas super vale a pena experiência porque rende fotos lindíssimas e se a pessoa for sensitiva, consegue sentir muitas sensações no decorrer do percurso.
Visitei num domingo, estava muito quente. Sugiro levar garrafinha com agua para hidratar.
Lá tem uma conveniência que vende lanches, sucos, agua de coco, lembrancinhas e literatura de cordel sobre o castelo, alem de banner contando a história do castelo.
(Translated by Google) The place is fantastic!!! The view from the top is simply unforgettable.
The entrance fee is 25 per person, there is a small parking lot and a guide accompanies us throughout the entire route.
It operates without reservations on weekends and holidays and with reservations during the week.
(Original)
O local é fantástico!!! A vista do topo é simplesmente inesquecível.
A entrada custa 25 por pessoa, tem um pequeno estacionamento e um guia nos acompanha em todo o percurso.
Funciona sem agendamento durante finais de semana e feriado e com agendamento durante à semana.
(Translated by Google) Beautiful place, its mountain landscape is magnificent, the castle has a history of faith and devotion, the climb and descent of the mountain are an adventure to start.

We’re a couple Florianópolis and came to spend 2 weeks in Rio Grande do Norte. This experience was by far the best we’ve had so far. The quality of the food is amazing, the attention even better and the atmosphere is something out of this world.
Sure thing, you’ll find people complaining here, especially about noise, or the road to get there. Just bear in mind that if you go there during a high tourism season, of course that you’ll find more people. That’s kind of obvious right? If you want exclusivity stay home during high season.
I recommend 100% this place. We got the Chandon space, amazing vibes.
The road is off-road only during the last 15 min of the trip, and now you can easily get there using google maps. Just download the offline map of the region and follow their instructions.

When visiting Natal and the nearby region, make sure you save time to visit Tao, it's just mandatory.
The whole experience is incredible: the place is overwhelmingly beautiful, quiet and peaceful, perfect to relax and renew your energy. The staff is very nice, gentle and polite, and they'll make tou feel at home.
The food is exquisite, everything is prepared and served with care.
It's a gorgeus place!!! Everything is perfect: staff, service, food (we tried Menu Terra and Menu Mar), place, river, landscape etc. The access requires more attention because you'II need to cross 7km of road with no pavement. During the winter, it can be difficult to get there. I really recommend you to visit that place and don't miss the oportunity to take great pictures.
Se loved our experience at the Aman cabin. Excellent food and gorgeous view. Very relaxing. The day goes by very fast!
Great natural environment and a delicious lunch made by an italian chef. Private gazebos in front of a crystal clear stream and a chance to have a day far from everything that can end with a relaxing massage.
Beautiful place. Expensive but worth it. Except for the coffee, the coffee sux. Gotta reserve at least 1 or 2 months prior from your visit.
Amazing place, need to book long time in advance 🙂
Is a bit expensive but a beautiful relaxing coffee restaurant.

Maracajaú Diver is an incredible destination that appeals to a wide range of visitors. The diving instructors are highly skilled professionals, guaranteeing a safe and enjoyable experience. The renowned "Parrachos" reefs provide an added allure, making this place the Brazilian equivalent of the Caribbean. Offering exceptional service and breathtaking views in a tropical setting with lush palm trees and crystal-clear waters, Maracajaú Diver is truly a dream location.
That's really a fabulous place for everyone! The diving teachers are great professionals, That's very secure and you've got the pretty famous "Parrachos" that means arrecifes.
The Brazilian caribe that everyone in the World would love to be at.
Thiago L — Google review
Quite disappointed. The hospitality of the company's employees was nil. The older lady at the register was particularly unfriendly. The experience was ok, but I watched the guides and guests kicking and touching the coral and some broke. Such bad practices, I fear that in a few years people will be snorkeling over a graveyard unless they take more care to protect the resource they are making money off of. Do not recommend.
Fantastic day!
Outstanding service, stunning views, located in a dream space, a tropical scenery with tall palm trees, blue see, comfy chairs, good food and drinks. And obviously the dive which allow you to live this Paradise. A must!
Nice place to take pictures

It's a very beautiful beach, but very dangerous because it's not safe for people to enjoy the place. You have to constantly watch for cars driving on the sand as I'd it were a road. I do not recommend it, specially if you have children. It's a beautiful place but unfortunatly not safe.

Genipabu Beach is a must-visit destination in Natal, offering a unique experience with its sandy dunes and freshwater lagoons. Visitors can explore the area by hiring buggies to ride through the picturesque landscape. The beach provides an ideal setting for swimming and indulging in various water sports and games. Additionally, there are plenty of restaurants to enjoy local cuisine.
Amazing beach.
Clear waters.
Calm water.
Hard to park in here.
Be prepared to deal with an infinity of street salesman, and people chasing you to find parking and bring you to their beach club.
It is difficult to avoid them. Sometimes you will need to be stern for them to leave you alone.
The beach clubs are great to relax at the beach. They have a little bit of everything.
Drink lots of coconut water. In the sand, there are many people people selling many things and lots of them are great options.
Chris S — Google review
No visit to Natal is complete without a visit to the Dunes of Genipabu.
Beach good for swimming with many nice restaurants.
Highlight of a visit to Genipabu is driving with a buggy driver through the dunes of Genipabu.& a visit to its lake if not in dry season is to be recommended.
Ferry to Jacumá is especially fun as your car or buggy is put onto a boat rowed across the narrow river with the route providing a coastal route to Pitangui and Muriú.
Top
Nice beach to visit and surf. Close to the dunes, it offers a beautiful visual. It can get pretty dirty, though, cause people often drop waste on the sand... There could be more trash bins to try to encourage people to discard their waste properly (although this is no excuse).
Fantastic incredibly beautiful seaside village about half an hour north by road from Natal's bridges across Rio Potengi from Natal, Rn.
Beautiful safe to bathe beach lined with lots of beachside restaurants good for fish or meat dishes.
Dunes above beach are awesome and maybe climbed by athletic & sure footed or tours led by buggy drivers available from US $60 through dunes from Genipabu village or from around US $ 100 from Natal.
Tours may continue on to Pitangui & Cape Riangha eastern most point of Rio Grande do Norte state.
In rainy season April to early August ;Genipabu near & after sunset is especially famous for it's mosquitos which seem to be a particular curse for fair skinned visitors.
Hotel Genipabu high in hills with its own swimming pool tends to avoid the problems with mosquitos.
Visitors should also try by car or buggy try the raft ferry at nearby Gracendu & see the seaside mansions of Natal's political elite.
At weekends & in January & February village maybe at times crowded but midweek visits are usually quieter & much more rewarding.
Lots of sand, salt, and sun. If you're looking for beach, this one is very nice.

Dunas de Genipabu is a stunning nature preserve with mobile sand dunes that offer thrilling buggy rides, as well as options for those seeking a more relaxed experience. Visitors can also enjoy activities such as esquibunda (dune descent on a board) and aerobunda (zip line over the dunes). The area offers beautiful natural sand dunes and various entertainment options including camel rides, sandboarding, and tobogganing.
Beautiful place with natural sand dunes and several entertainment options. You can choose to go on a buggy ride, do sandboarding, sand toboganning, camel rides (🐫🐫🐫) or enjoying the beach with local gastronomy. All places accept credit card but they charge an extra fee. If you choose to come on the afternoon, its definitely worth to stay for the sunset! Be warned that this location is quite windy and you are likely to get sand everywhere! Would definitely visit again!

Aquarium
Zoos & Aquariums
Aquário Natal is a modern and compact aquarium that offers an educational and entertaining experience for visitors of all ages. It showcases a variety of marine species, including touch tanks, penguins, and native fish like piranhas. Upon entering, a guide provides insights into the specimens' habits and backstories, some of which are rescued animals being prepared for reintroduction to their natural habitat. The aquarium also features terrestrial mammals, birds, and reptiles.
There's a small entrance fee and as soon as you get inside, a guide will explain about the specimens and their habits and backstory - some are rescued animals, many are getting prepared to be reintroduced to their natural habitat. There are several species represented, including terrestrial mamals, birds and reptiles. After the initial tour you are free to roam and revisit any animals you wish. There's the "touch tank" and a "mermaid" show every weekend. There's a gift kiosk and a picture booth on the tour path, and outside there's a gift shop and a snack bar. There's also a big parking lot structure.

A good place to go with the kids. A nice selection of animals, but could maybe also be some more from other continents.
It’s larger than it seems from outside. Could get some maintenance. Wish they would sell some drinks or small food inside, because now you need to leave the place to buy drinks or food.
A nice little aquarium, that also houses different species of animals. It can use a little bit more maintenance and cleaning, but overall, a fun place to visit.
Nice place lots to see more of a zoo than a Aquarium
This is the saddest zoo i’ve been to in my life. I don’t leave reviews often, but i feel like i had to share my experience. So many of the animals showed signs of distress. Little to no effort put in to their cages and some fish and reptiles were to be found dead in their cages or aquarium
Kind of a Aquarium/zoo combo
The exhibits are decent.
Didn't care for all the tourist trapping.
Make sure to pay with reis to skip the line.
Was surprised to see land animals too. Overall a great experience for the price. Staff were really friendly and informative too.
The aquarium is very nice. The presence of a tour guide aggregates a lot as he gives interesting information about the animals present in the aquarium (which is not restricted to ocean life, FYI). All money spent buying souvenirs is reverted to the aquarium/animals care. The only negative point is that is very, very hot inside it. There are no air-conditioned or ventilators.

Praia de Cotovelo
Mentioned on
Beach

Praia de Cotovelo is a well-kept secret in Parnamirim, featuring majestic cliffs and enchanting turquoise waters. It offers a serene environment away from the hustle and bustle of more popular beaches. The journey to the beach along RN-063 is as pleasant as the destination, with spectacular coastal views anticipating the tranquil beauty that awaits. This beautiful beach is a great option for a peaceful day, attracting tourists during the summer who come to relax and enjoy a delightful swim.
Praia de Cotovelo is a beautiful beach with usually only very few people. The tidal range is quite big, I would guess around 70–100 meters. There are a couple of restaurants at the end of the beach. It's a great place to go for a beach run.
Corsin — Google review
A beautiful beach with a wonderful view. The cliffs look wonderful, but you have to watch out for them as they can slip. The water in the ocean is pleasant, but sometimes gusty. Here, many people have made the same mistake and entered the water with sunglasses, and returned without them. The waves can be large from nowhere, so you need to be careful.
The beach is stunning for those who enjoy natural beauties and tranquility. Ideal for families and passionate couples who can walk quietly enjoying the CLIFFS, DUNAS and the SEA WITH CRYSTAL WATERS, sometimes in green color, sometimes in blue color with soft waves. Unforgettable! There is a good infrastructure for those who choose to rest and enjoy the delicious dishes served in restaurants and kiosks
Nice beach when the tide is low...the cliffs are collapsing and falling, so do not get too close... Lost my black nornal glasses here...
Beautiful wild beach of Pium not crowded and clean ocean with wonderful waves
Good vibes and energetic beach. Feels relaxing and never crowded.
Waves are good..

Restaurante Mirante dos Golfinho is a must-visit destination for anyone looking to soak in breathtaking views while enjoying delicious food. Perched on a cliff, this spot offers an incredible vantage point where you can catch glimpses of dolphins or porpoises frolicking in the distance. Even if luck isn't on your side and the dolphins don't make an appearance, the stunning scenery alone makes it worth stopping by.
Wonderful sight from cliff top. Many turtles and if you are lucky (as I've been) you can also see dolfins

Nice view of the bay, but you won't see any dolphins or anything. It's just a nice view to take pictures.
You see the dolphins quite distant only, but the view in general is incredible
This is such a beautiful view! Even if you don't spot the dolphins it's still worth a stop
Great view, and I saw many tortoise, but no dolphins
Amazing place and if you there in the right time you can see the dolphins :-)
Great place to see the dolphins ( or porpoises according to locals ) and enjoy a beer, pastel and some grilled cheese
Awesome place, nice service, good food, and the view is espectacular
