    The coastal zone of Rio Grande do Norte has great natural beauties, excelling Pipa Beach in the southern region of the state. It is located in the Municipal district of Tibau do Sul and has exuberant cliffs. However, this beach is being affected by erosive processes in conflict with the local tourist activity, which is in expansion. Such fact ally to the economical pressure of the real estate occupation generates significant environmental impacts, once the coastal atmosphere is very delicate and fragile, and any change that reaches it, produces alterations in all the involved natural factors. So, the present work has an objective to characterize the erosive processes in full detail that are affecting central part of Pipa Beach, located between Ponta do Madeiro and Ponta da Pedra do Moleque, in order to subsidize the development of an occupation zoning with base with these erosive processes, in way to minimize the installed conflicts. Field works were accomplished, walking along the whole central part (with approximately 5 km) and photographing active erosive processes, being these presented by sub-parts.
