Redinha Beach
Praia da Redinha
A fishing village beach on the north bank of the Potengi River mouth, with views across the water of the bridge and the fort, known for the local snack “ginga,” fried little fish in tapioca.
Redinha is an old fishing village beach on the north bank of the Potengi River mouth, popular with locals on weekends. From the beach you can look across the river to the Fort of the Three Kings and the Newton Navarro Bridge, making it a great angle for photographing the bridge. The newly built seaside plaza features a statue of the sea god and a sign spelling out the city’s name. Be sure to try “ginga com tapioca” at the public market, which is small fried fish sandwiched in tapioca cakes, a signature Natal snack. You can reach it by crossing the bridge or taking a ferry from the city dock. It is often the first stop on the northern route.
