Tibau, Coastal municipality in Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil.
Tibau stands as the northernmost city in Rio Grande do Norte state, stretching across 162 square kilometers of Brazilian northeastern territory.
The Dutch navigator Gideon Morris de Jorge first discovered this region in February 1641, noting the presence of salt flats and extensive sand deposits.
Local artisans maintain strong traditions through the creation of colorful sand bottles, which are distributed and valued throughout Brazil.
The municipality operates two healthcare facilities and maintains a medium Human Development Index of 0.678 according to United Nations standards.
The territory faced ownership disputes between Rio Grande do Norte and Ceará states until 1920, when jurist Rui Barbosa resolved the conflict.
