A popular saying is that the best perfumes are in the smaller bottles. It seems that this principle fits the beach of Jacumã, that has the smallest coastline, and beauty in all its fullness. The cove is adjoined by a coqueiral limited by the dunes, whose white sand is dotted with the native vegetation, mainly of cajueiros, mangabeiras and araçazeiros.

The small fishing village, until the end of the decade of the 60s, depended on everything of the neighbor, Muriú. Today the two have grown and between them, joining them, is the beach of Porto Mirim. The set represents the coast of the city of Ceará Mirim. The village was growing, initially, because of the houses of the veranistas, but later condominiums and mansions have started to dominate its landscape. The natives sold their houses and today they live away.

Where ever you are in Jacumã, you see beauty. Its dunes, the contrast of the blue sea and the woody coast is characteristic. Nobody ever forgets. It is an invitation to return. The fishing rafts had given their place to tourism and leisure, with passeios of buggies, ultra lights and small parachutes that, towed by buggies, cover the beach, at a height of 50 meters in altitude.

The restaurants have multiplied and the tourist infrastructure consolidated with hotels and inns. An example of Genipabu, its dunes offer the passeio with or without emotion, but with one aspect more, the descending of aerobunda and skybunda in its lagoon. It is an irresistible program.

Many people want to know the difference between aerobunda and skybunda. In the first one, one sits down in a chair of straps, tied to a rope that crosses some 30 meters until arriving at the lagoon. Not with skybunda, the seat is a board. The heel is fixed in the tips and balance is controlled with the hands in the soil. The toy goes down a sand slope until the the mirror of the lagoon and is located in the highest dune of 30 meters where they have eight steel handles to make the descending. It lasts little more than one minute, from the preparation to the diving in the lagoon. For who desire to have access it is advisable to contract an experienced bugueiro, to enjoy a passeio with emotion and later arriving at the dune of the small cable.

The tourist after this, will be able to enjoy of a beach of our north coast, where the difference is in the impotent mansions constructed by the side-sea. The transformation of Jacumã as the destination of the rich and famous of Natal started in the end of the Seventies. Suddenly a humble fishing beach, located in the community of Ceará Mirim, to the side of then the famous Muriú, started to be the preferred village for the summer of entrepreneurs, politicians and journalists, with the proposal to have a differentiated and permanent charm.

To arrive at Jacumã, there are some options. From Natal, the best is the BR-101, from the bridge at Igapó, in the Zone Norte, by the asphalt highway. Another access can be from Pitangui, between dunes and vegetation, or from Muriú, for those who come from Ceará Mirim or Touros.
