Jenipabu is located in 30 km from Natal. It is one of the most popular beaches in Rio Grande do Norte. Jenipabu is nested in Extremoz, the first city in the north from Natal. The name of the beach means "eat jenipapo" or a place where Indians usually ate jenipapo, a Brazilian fruit.

Jenipabu is one of the most popular places in Rio Grande do Norte. Jenipabu is famous for the mobile dunes; the dunes become a roller coster, where the truck is the cart. You will be driven up the hills you think you would never climb, then get down, unharmed, but in the way you think you have survived the air crash.

You can make your trip "with or without emotion". If you want to experience something absolutely overwhelming, you can ask the driver to go as crazy as safety allows. Or you can tell him to drive slowly. The only drivers allowed to enter the mobile dunes should obtain certification by the Tourist Board.

You can also visit the fixed dunes, from the top of which, you have a wonderful view of the Lagoa de Jenipabu, and the beaches of Jenipabu, Graçandu and Pitangui; the Lagoa of Jenipabu are worth visiting as well (there are bars serving food, and you can swim in the crystalline waters).

Also at the peak of the fixed dunes, you can ride the back of a dromedary. The animals are from Africa, and here they receive special care to adapt to the climate of Jenipabu (which is much wetter than a desert). Jenipabu offers something you won´t be able to do anywhere else in the world, like being photographed on a dromedary, having tropical beaches in the background.

Back on the beach, you can dine at Restaurante 21, one of the main attractions of the place. The restaurant offers an incomparable view: dunes, palm trees, the beaches, the surf. Right nearby the restaurant, you can rent a board and try out a tropical version of snowboarding, dubbed sandboarding: sit on a board an slide down the dunes to splash in the sea waters.
