With almost 300 days of sunshine, the city is perfect year round. However, between the months of April and July, the rains are usually concentrated. Despite this, from August to November and in March, prices are more affordable.
Some of the best beaches in the city of Natal are Praia Ponta Negra, Praia dos Artistas, Praia da Pipa, Praia e dunes de Genipabu and São Miguel do Gostoso.
The best place is Ponta Negra. The sector concentrates most of the hotels, inns and restaurants in the city. If you want something quieter, there are municipalities around that have some great inns.
In addition to the beaches, get ready to visit historic sites, walks and take a dip in the natural pools. A tip is to take a catamaran ride along the Potengi River or visit the historic center with the handicraft shops.
Due to its beautiful beaches, it is recommended that you take a day to get to know each one, so the minimum time is one week.
Among the many free or cheap tours to take in the city of Natal, some of them are to visit Fortaleza dos Reis Magos, Parque das Dunas (Bosque dos Namorados) and the Handicraft Center.
