Ponta do Mel, Coastal point and beach in Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil
The beach extends for 4.15 kilometers along the coastline, featuring golden sands and high waves meeting the northeastern semi-arid landscape.
The location played a key role in the early exploration and mapping of Rio Grande do Norte's coastline during Portuguese colonial expeditions.
Local fishermen maintain traditional fishing methods and contribute to regional gastronomy through fresh seafood preparation at beachfront establishments.
Visitors can access Ponta do Mel through paved roads, with accommodations and dining options available at Oasis Mel Beach restaurant.
