Activities
Nightlife
Natal
Ponta Negra nightlife has concentrated along Rua Dr. Manoel Arauju, aso known as Rua da Salsa, a few blocks inland from the beach at kiosk 11. Most tourist lodgings are in Ponta Negra, heaps and heaps of them.
Natal's nightlife centers on the Ponta Negra neighborhood. The waterfront Avenida Erivan França, at the far end of Ponta Negra beach, is a busy and bustling area of restaurants and bars. Some years back much of the activity consisted of Brazilian women looking to sell their services to male charter tourists from Europe, but the area has since been cleaned up substantially.
The prime nightlife scene, the Alto de Ponta Negra, is located on the heights on the far side of the busy Avenida Roberto Freire (near the corner of the Rua Dr. Manoel. A.B. de Araújo). It's a pleasant and strollable enclave of cafes and creperies, knickknack shops, bars, and discos.
Campo Grande
Campo Grande's nightlife knows no evening off, especially around the 3900 block of Av Afonso Pena, east of downtown.
The city is very quiet according to other information on Internet.
