Natal really has a lot going for it.  A coastal city near the equator, it has sunny and hot days almost year round, with essentially one season: summer. Natal's beaches are often white soft sand with blue or light green waters, the land is mostly covered in coconut trees and large dunes that shift with the winds.  The constantly changing landscape means you'll never visit the same twice. The sheer number of beaches around Natal is staggering, with beaches running up and down the coast for over 100 miles in each direction.  Lagoons and lakes dot the land, with small fishing villages at every other beach. Each beach is unique, and each is worth visiting.   We have covered many of Natal's beaches here and hope you get to visit them all!

The pictures of Natal's beaches we've put together are really worth a thousand words, and show a real variety of paradise beaches.  Make sure you go on a least one dune buggy tour, they will take you through many of these beaches, many of which you might find very hard to navigate to without a buggy and a knowledgeable guide.  Some of them are only accessible by dune buggy, which makes some of Natal's beaches very secluded to those seeking out lightly visited areas. 

While some of Natal's beaches are only accessible by dune buggy, many of the beaches are urban beaches, making them relatively easy to get to and almost guaranteed to have many amenities surrounding them.   Some of the more rural beaches offer little in the way of services, but offer up a wild and very natural setting, while others are tied to fishing villages where tradition and culture are still very strong within the community. 

Many of Natal's beaches have coral reefs off the coast, which are generally accessible during low tide and allow for great snorkeling, some do require a boat to get to them, since they may be quite some distance from the beach even at low tide.  While the water isn't very deep at these coral, especially at low tide, they can still be fairly far from the shore.    

The end result is Natal is a great place for those seeking out some beach time, with a vast array of secluded, and urban beaches available. Snorkeling, tours and amenities are offered at most of Natal's beaches, so take advantage of them!  You can't visit Natal without spending a good deal of time on the beaches there!
