Originally inhabited by indigenous peoples, Ponta Negra received its first European visitors in the 16th century, with the arrival of the Portuguese colonizers. During the colonial period, the area served as a point of extraction of raw materials for construction, essential for the formation of the city.
Over time, the natural beauty of Ponta Negra Beach began to attract more and more visitors, especially in the 20th century. In the 1980s, the region experienced intense real estate growth, consolidating itself as one of Natal’s main tourist destinations.
Today, Ponta Negra Beach is one of the most popular tourist spots in northeastern Brazil, famous for its strip of golden sand and warm waters. In addition to its natural beauty, the beach offers an extensive infrastructure for tourists, with many restaurants, bars, stores and leisure options for the whole family.
