Morro do Careca

Morro do Careca, a large sand dune located in the center of Natal, stands as the main symbol of the city and the state of Rio Grande do Norte. Rising 394 feet (120 meters) above the ground, it dominates the southern end of the bustling Ponta Negra beach, one of the city’s most popular destinations. Often featured on postcards, the dune’s smooth, golden slopes offer a striking contrast to the vibrant blue waters of the Atlantic Ocean. Visitors can climb to the top for panoramic views of the coastline and the surrounding urban landscape, making it a key attraction for both locals and tourists.
