More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step onto the bus before dawn in Natal and watch the coastline blur into a ribbon of sand and coconut palms. The ride eases you east toward João Pessoa, where the sea seems to lean forward and the wind argues with the palms. Along the way you pass Tambaú and Cabo Branco beaches—wide, blue-green strands where living cliffs rise and erode like a slow-moving sculptor—before arriving at Ponta dos Seixas, the easternmost point of continental Brazil, where the Atlantic pushes light over the horizon.
