The engine kicks and sand rises: a ribbon of compacted dunes and open beach unspools ahead as the buggy threads between sculpted walls of ochre and white sand. Riders feel the coast change — wind-swept dune ridges give way to calm lagoons and then the Atlantic, where warm water laps broad, shallow beaches at Jacumã.

The engine kicks and sand rises: a ribbon of compacted dunes and open beach unspools ahead as the buggy threads between sculpted walls of ochre and white sand. Riders feel the coast change — wind-swept dune ridges give way to calm lagoons and then the Atlantic, where warm water laps broad, shallow beaches at Jacumã.
This stretch of Rio Grande do Norte has long been shaped by wind and sea; dunes here are mobile, built over millennia as coastal currents and trade winds shifted sediments. Indigenous Potiguara communities and small fishing villages still mark the shoreline, and the route takes you past craft stalls and local shrines that speak to a working coastal culture.
Geology is on display: crescent dunes, interdunal lagoons, and beaches with fine quartz sand formed from eroded continental rocks. Birdlife and shore crabs frequent the lagoons and tide edges, while small artisan markets sell lacemakers’ and shellwork near fishing hamlets.
Practically, expect 5–7 hours: several short stops for photos, a dromedary-style novelty ride, zipline options, and a long lunch stop at Jacumã where water is usually calm for swimming. The tour is guided and family-friendly; vehicles handle soft sand but transfers include short, sandy walks and climbing into the buggies.
Bring sun protection, a refillable water bottle, and footwear that handles sand and salt. Plan for heat in midday and brief exposed moments on ridgelines; follow guide instructions for dunes and swimming. The trip is a hands-on way to read the coastline—each lagoon and dune has its own angle of light and wind.
