Understand
Get in
By bus
Natal's bus station is way off on the southern edge of town, while the beaches are up north. So if you're planning to stay on the beaches, it's a long ride, through the city center and onwards.
See
- Forte dos Reis Magos, the star-shaped fort at the northern tip of the beach, was built in 1598.
Do
Natal's beaches stretch for several kilometers, each section having its own name. From the north, there's Praia do Forte, Praia do Meio, and Praia dos Artistas.
Eat
Plenty of seafood restaurants with outdoor seating can be found along the beaches.
Sleep
- Hotel Recanto do Mar, on the beach.
Stay safe
If visiting the Forte dos Reis Magos, it's highly recommended that you take a taxi there, and not walk along Praia Forte; recently there have been an increasing number of robberies and assaults of tourists along the beach, past the populated areas.
