Rio Grande do Norte coastal village 80km south of Natal — famous for Praia do Amor and Praia dos Golfinhos (the dolphin beach), with consistent waves and dramatic red-clay cliffs. The main street and the beach strip are the small walkable core. Same Brazil DNV. The structural draws are dramatic coastal-cliff geography, year-round-warm climate, sub-Natal pricing, and a small-but-real surf-nomad community. Coworking density is thin; this is a beach-village base.

Editorial estimates. Not financial advice. The 4% rule is a planning anchor, not a guarantee — sequence-of-returns risk and tax-jurisdiction friction (US-LLC / FEIE / state residency) can move the real number meaningfully. See our expat tax directory for the cross-border side of the math.
