Genipabu, Protected beach in Extremoz, Brazil
White sand dunes border the beach's clear waters, creating a coastal environment with natural formations that extend over several kilometers of shoreline.
The establishment of the Área de Proteção Ambiental Jenipabu in the region marks a significant step in preserving the coastal ecosystems of Rio Grande do Norte.
Local residents maintain traditional fishing practices along the shores while offering visitors opportunities to experience regional customs through food and activities.
Visitors can reach the beach by taking a 30-minute drive from Natal, with regular bus services and taxi options available from the city center.
The combination of maritime dunes and beach allows visitors to experience both camel rides and buggy tours across the extensive sand formations.
