Barra de Cunhaú, Beach in Canguaretama, Brazil
The beach features white sand stretches along the Atlantic Ocean, with natural pools formed by coral reefs and coconut palm groves.
The name Cunhaú originates from the Tupi language, combining the words cunhã for woman and y for water, translating to woman's water.
Local fishermen maintain traditional fishing methods, supplying fresh seafood to the coastal restaurants and contributing to the regional identity.
The beach lies 85 kilometers from Natal, accessible via BR-101 highway and RN-269 road, with regular transport connections from the state capital.
The meeting point of Catú and Curimataú rivers with the ocean creates distinct water patterns and natural formations at the beach.
