Pitangui Lagoon
Lagoa de Pitangui
A clear freshwater lake beside the dunes where restaurant tables sit right in the shallows, so you can dip your feet while dining, and it serves as a lunch stop on buggy tours.
Pitangui Lagoon is located about 35 kilometers north of Natal, in Extremoz. This clear freshwater lake lies right next to white sand dunes. Lakeside restaurants set their tables in the shallow water, so guests can soak their feet while eating grilled fish and drinking coconut water. You can also slide down the dunes into the lake or take a small boat out on the water. It is busy on weekends with locals and is a very lively spot. Most Genipabu buggy tours stop here for lunch. If you drive yourself, be careful on the sandy roads and consider joining a tour.
