Although Natal Brasil's urban beaches along this stretch are in fact separate beaches in their own right, they are all part of a long continuous stretch along the Via Costeira beach highway, which runs south along the coast below the great dunes of Parque das Dunas.

Praia do Meio - Beach of the Middle, is approximately the stretch between Praia do Forte - (near the Forte dos Reis Magos) up to the Ladeira do Sol.

This Brazilian beach is reef-lined and once the tide recedes, it leaves behind some wonderful water pools which is great for children. The stretch of beach has exceptionally larger waves than even Ponta Negra during high tide - making it a firm favourite with surfers.
