Parnamirim – RN Destination Rio Grande do Norte South Coast (Pipa and Rota do Sol)
How to get there
Parnamirim's coast is reached via RN-063, with entrances to Cotovelo and Pirangi do Norte. The Centro Cultural Trampolim da Vitória is located in the former Aeroporto Augusto Severo, in a different part of the municipality, connected to BR-101 and the urban network.
How many days
Two days allow you to separate the beaches and the Cajueiro de Pirangi from a visit to the aviation collection. If the outing is focused on the coast, choose fewer activities and save the cultural center for a separate visit.
When to go
The tide guides seaside scheduling. Pick a day to visit the cultural center, confirm the cajueiro's availability and check the forecast for walks along the shore.
Do you need a car?
A car or hired transport helps link Cotovelo, Pirangi do Norte and the former airport. Within the Pirangi area, some transfers can be made on foot depending on your accommodation.

Canopy of the cajueiro and Pirangi coastline
Walk the paths of the Cajueiro de Pirangi and set aside another part of the day for Praia de Pirangi do Norte. The walk along the shore and observing where the river meets the sea are experiences distinct from visiting the tree.
Day 2

Dia
Cotovelo cliffs and aviation memory
Experience Praia de Cotovelo by its stretch of sand and observe the cliffs without climbing their edges. On a separate trip, visit the Centro Cultural Trampolim da Vitória to see the collection about aviation and World War II.
Check before you go. Opening hours and days change, and places may close for renovations, holidays or events. This itinerary is a suggestion from Cidade Turismo, not a commitment: plan yours by checking directly with each place you intend to visit.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Cajueiro de Pirangi next to the beach?
The tree occupies a visitation area in Pirangi do Norte, near the shore. Walking under the branches and staying on the beach are separate activities; allow time for both.
Do I need to book a visit to the Centro Cultural Trampolim da Vitória?
Visits accompanied by a guide require booking. Before going to the former airport, confirm service for individual visitors and for the size of your group.
Which beach allows observation of Parnamirim's cliffs?
Cotovelo has cliffs and coconut groves along its stretch of sand. View the formations from the beach's circulation area, respecting marked zones.
Can the cultural center be visited on foot from Pirangi?
The museum is at the former Aeroporto Augusto Severo, away from the coastal hub. Plan transportation for that transfer and check visiting hours/program before you go.
How to choose the timing for a boat trip in Pirangi?
Trips to the reefs depend on the tide and sea conditions. Consult the operator about the authorized route, boarding point and availability before adding the activity to your day.
