Yep, it's a nude beach…read more This is a beautiful beach, but if you don't like the idea of going "au naturel", don't worry, because there are 2 parts to this beach. Actually, I think the part outside the nude part may be smaller, but is prettier. The nude section is isolated by a natural rock wall. You don't encounter any gawkers here, because if you're on the beach, everyone is in the same state. However, there is a restaurant inside the nudist section, but all the workers are clothed, so, "not fair!"

Ponta Negra Beach takes its name from the surrounding neighborhood in the city of Natal. The name…read more("black point") derives from the dark stones that are found along this beach. The beach is about 2.4 miles long (4 kilometers) and at its southernmost end, is bordered by a large sand dune (390 feet tall) known as Morro do Careca ("bald hill" in Portuguese). The waters in this part are very calm & ideal for taking a dip. If you like surfing, stand-up or kite-surfing, different parts of the beach are ideal for these sports. The turquoise water here is very clean. This beach is also very popular because it is located near many hotels and pousadas, restaurants, bars & food stalls. There's activity here day and night. If you want, you can walk the length of the beach along its wide paved path or rent a bicycle. Another reason for the popularity of this beach is the warm water--it's about 82°F (28°C) all year-round. If you're visiting the city of Natal, it will be hard for you not to find yourself on or near this beach, and you will be glad that you visited it too.

"Pipa" is the 4th name for this part of Brazil. Originally, it was called Orotapiry, or "White man's village." In 1626, the beach became known as Itacoatiara, meaning "the painted cliff", later becoming Ponta do Cabo Verde ("Green Headland"), and is now Praia da Pipa. As recently as the 1970's, this was just a fishing village, but it was "discovered" by backpackers and surfers. Today, it is a small, cosmopolitan beach town, with restaurants of many types whose owners came from many foreign countries and decided to stay. There are hotels and pousadas (bed and breakfasts) for any budget. Every time we come here, we stay at a different hotel and each experience is different. There is a lot of nightlife and visitors from all over the world. The last time we were here, I met travelers from Chile, Texas, Australia, England, Germany and all parts of Brazil. Here you can have a calm, laid-back vacation or a party-all-night vacation: it's up to you. If you can, you really must visit Pipa!
