Praia de Graçandu is a beach located in the municipality of Extremoz, on the north coast of Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil. The beach sits at the mouth of the Rio Ceará-Mirim, with its foz visible from aerial views. The beach is characterized by fine sand and warm water, and it is part of a popular tourist route known as the Rota dos Nativos, which includes nearby attractions like the Dunas de Pitangui and the Lagoa de Pitangui. Access to the beach for paddlers launching from shore is straightforward, with the area featuring vacation rentals that offer free private parking, indicating available parking near the beachfront. The carry distance from parking to the water is likely short, given the descriptions of properties being "Poucos metros da Praia" or offering a "Linda vista para o mar." The beach's position at a river mouth suggests that paddlers can explore both the open ocean and the calmer waters of the Rio Ceará-Mirim. A notable route for paddlers is a crossing of the Rio Ceará-Mirim, which is part of a buggy tour itinerary where visitors are rowed across the river to reach Praia de Graçandu. This indicates that the river is navigable by small paddle craft. The nearby Lagoa de Pitangui, accessible by land from the beach, offers calm water paddling with kayaks available for rent there. The area is framed by dunes and coconut trees, contributing to its aesthetic. One environmental note mentions containers washing ashore on the beach, which could pose a transient hazard or indicate occasional debris. The overall vibe for paddlers is that of a launch point for exploring a dynamic coastline where river, ocean, and lagoon environments converge, though the beach itself is "bem sem graça" or rather plain.
