About Praia de Cotovelo
Praia de Cotovelo belongs to the coast of Parnamirim. Its cliffs and coconut groves help identify the landscape of this stretch of the Potiguar coast. The main experience is outdoors: walking on the sand, observing the natural formations and choosing a spot to stay by the sea.
Tidal changes alter the width of the sand strip and the space available for walking. Before swimming, check the day's conditions and follow local guidance. The view of the cliffs does not require climbing their edges; use established accesses and respect protected areas.
The locality has food services and streets giving access to the shore, but choosing the arrival point requires attention when planning transport. To photograph the coast, look for natural light and keep a distance from formations that are cordoned off. The beach has its own landscape character and is not part of the cajueiro complex.
