Pirangi Beach
About twenty kilometers south of downtown Natal, this south coast beach is divided by the river Pirangi, which creates two beaches, Pirangi do Norte and Pirangi do Sul, which are then grouped under the name Pirangi Beach. The beach is famous not because of the white sands, but because it has the "Biggest Cashew nut tree of the World", which is even recorded in the Guinness Book of world records for it's massive size. Due to a genetic issues, the tree has grown to enormous proportions, covering a huge amount of area.
Pirangi Beach do Norte possesses calm waters, ideal for water sports and its sands are often used for sports competitions. Roughly five hundred meters from the shore are natural swimming pools which can be visited via boat tours during low tide. Pirangi Beach do Sul's calm waters make it excellent for families with children, diving and also practicing surfing.
During the summer, when night arrives, visitors go to the streets to talk, play and to have fun at the many shows. If you're hungry at this time, try checking out Bangalô, a typical Brazilian steakhouse.
This beach is located fairly close to Ponta Negra Beach, and turns out to be a good alternative to the busy urban beach. Also near by is Barreira do Inferno Launch Center, which is a space launch facility. Natal's proximity to the equator makes it a great place to launch satellites. If you're more interested in picking up some souvenirs, try checking out Artesanato Potiguar, which is only a few kilometers away from here.
