Extremoz

Extremoz is a municipality in Rio Grande do Norte on Brazil's Atlantic coast, featuring beaches, developed areas, and farming lands. The region spans several neighborhoods and combines coastal landscapes with rural zones.

The area grew from early Portuguese colonial settlements in Rio Grande do Norte. It later developed into its own administrative region within the state.

Local traditions and regional music are part of daily life here, shaping how the community gathers and celebrates together. Visitors can experience authentic northeastern Brazilian cuisine and see how residents maintain their cultural practices.

The best time to visit is during drier months when beaches and the area are easy to explore. Most services and facilities are found in the main neighborhoods and are reachable on foot or by local transport.

The area is known for its connection to traditional fishing communities that have lived on the coast for generations. This craft tradition remains visible in local harbors and the daily work of fishermen.
