Rio Grande do Norte
While photos from Cumbuco, Prea and Jericoacoara regularly make it into the glossy magazines these days, the state of Rio Grande do Norte south of Ceara has been largely ignored until now. Yet the wind probability here is also high, temperatures are also tropical, and beaches also wide. The beach-culture rivals its big northern brother too. Only the kite and windsurf facilities are much less developed, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing for soul-surfers.
