Ponta Negra

Ponta Negra is the main tourist neighborhood in Natal. As this neighborhood is well surveilled by the police during day and night, you can enjoy nice walks by the beach.

  • Prefer walking on the main streets where the police surveillance is noticeable.
  • Avoid carrying valuables or jewelry and be extra careful with your mobile phone.
  • If you stay late at night, take a cab to go back to the hotel rather than walking.
  • If you take a tour to Morro do Careca trails, go out in groups and avoid carrying valuables.
  • Buggy drivers will contact you on the street offering different kinds of trips. Book a buggy trip only at your hotel desk or travel agency.
