I think it's pretty clear that you don't really need to pack anything at all before a beach holiday in Brazil. The beach of Ponta Negra in Natal to be specific as my knowledge of this extends only to this region thus far.
On the beach yesterday within an hour of securing our comfortable little oasis in the sand under a large parasol with a majestic view of the waves crashing onto the beach, the illusion of relaxation was harshly interrupted by a literal ebay of items for sale ranging from the practical to the bizarre.
Without fail, at a rate of about 1 every 2 to 5 minutes, our pasty white tourist skin attracted some form of seller trying to hock...
fruit, sunglasses, towels, beads, massage, hair braiding, surfboards, DVDs, big hats, small hats, coconuts , watches, Natal Tshirts, Brazil Tshirts, underwear, bikini tops, speedos, green coloured corn, beer mugs, flags, fine art, carpets, voodoo-like wooden sticks, booze (hurray!), bundles of sticks, grilled "meat", small clay dolls, squeezie toys, fine art, horses, woven swing chairs, AND my personal favourite, a 2 foot tall dark wood carving of a dolphin!
Where am I going to put it all?
