- Things you can buy in Ponta Negra beach.

- Parking is a problem. The only way to park is along one side of the street, which besides being short, has several slots reserved to taxis, disabled, police, etc. There are a few private parking loots which charge up to R$ 5 and give no guarantees (if you manage to park in the street, separate a few coins to the "flanelinhas", those guys who "keep an eye on your car for you").

- The village is up the hill. As soon as the beach street ends, you have to walk up a steep hill to go to the village. That means that a hotel "100 meters away from the beach" may end up being not so close as you thought; however, there is the advantage that you can have a good view of the sea even if you are a little far from the shore line.

-Banks : exists ATM by ITAU, Bradesco and Caixa 24 hour, easy localized in front-beach and, after Beterraba restaurante, there is Banco do Brasil.

- like in every beach of Nordeste, in Ponta Negra beach they are a lot of vendor itinerant that sell food too; see  commerce in Ponta Negra beach
