The tourism represents the main income activity and Pipa beach is the most visited beach in the city, annually receives a large influx of domestic and foreign tourists. Some recent studies have reported the occurrence of coastal erosion in this littoral, being the main objective of the research, analyze the existing coastal erosion, through two methodologies, the geoenvironmental mapping and beach morphodynamics. The geoenvironmental mapping was done from oblique aerial photographs and field visits, which sought to carry out first the geomorphological mapping, with the purpose of analyzing features that suggest susceptible areas to erosion, as areas without protection of natural dunes, marine terraces, or sandstones (beach-rocks and ferruginous sandstones), areas with the presence of gullies and stretches where the sea-cliffs were in direct contact with the action of the sea, representing the beginning of the beach profile. In the morphodynamic study sought to carry out the survey of the physical and morphological characteristics, the analysis of sediment grain of the beaches and finally the analysis of the morphodynamic parameters to generate a table of risk to erosion by sector of the beach. The morphodynamic parameters were defined by the methodology proposed by Short (2006), in which considers different patterns of dynamism on beaches with characteristics favorable and unfavorable to erosive profiles. The maps indicated different levels of risk to the segments of the beaches analyzed, suggesting risk to erosion low and low to moderate only in areas north and northwest of the beaches of Madeiro and Curral, and levels of moderate and high risk sectors in the south and southeast of these beaches . The beach of Pipa showed moderate levels of risk and moderate to high at the ends and high risk to erosion in the central portion. The study of the coastal environment, its morphological evolution, and areas with problems of erosion, are of fundamental importance to assist coastal management policies, giving grants for planning activities undertaken in these regions / A ?rea da pesquisa localiza-se no munic?pio de Tibau do Sul, situado na costa leste do Estado do Rio Grande do Norte, cerca de 80 km a sul da capital Natal. O turismo representa a principal atividade geradora de renda e a praia de Pipa, a mais conhecida do munic?pio, recebe anualmente um grande fluxo de turistas nacionais e estrangeiros. Alguns estudos recentes relatam a ocorr?ncia de eros?o costeira em pontos desta regi?o litor?nea, sendo o objetivo principal da pesquisa, analisar a eros?o costeira existente, atrav?s de duas metodologias, o mapeamento geoambiental e a morfodin?mica praial. O mapeamento geoambiental foi realizado a partir de fotografias a?reas obl?quas e visitas a campo, onde buscou-se realizar primeiramente o mapeamento geomorfol?gico, com o objetivo de analisar fei??es que sugerem ?reas suscept?veis ? eros?o, como zonas sem prote??o natural de dunas, terra?os marinhos, ou arenitos (de praia e ferruginosos), ?reas com presen?a de ravinamentos e trechos onde as fal?sias encontravam-se vivas, ou seja, representando o in?cio do perfil praial, em contato direto com a a??o do mar. No estudo morfodin?mico buscou-se realizar o levantamento das caracter?sticas f?sicas e morfol?gicas, a an?lise granulom?trica dos sedimentos das praias e por fim a an?lise dos par?metros morfodin?micos para gerar uma tabela de risco ? eros?o por setor praial. Os par?metros morfodin?micos foram definidos atrav?s da metodologia proposta por Short (2006), em que considera diferentes padr?es de dinamismo em praias com caracter?sticas favor?veis e desfavor?veis a perfis erosivos. Os mapas indicaram diferentes n?veis de risco para os segmentos das praias analisadas, sugerindo risco ? eros?o baixo e baixo a moderado apenas nos setores norte e noroeste das praias do Madeiro e Curral, e n?veis de risco moderado a alto nos setores sul e sudeste destas praias. A praia de Pipa apresentou n?veis de risco moderado e moderado a alto nas extremidades e alto risco ? eros?o na por??o central. O estudo do ambiente costeiro, de sua evolu??o morfol?gica, e de ?reas com problemas de eros?o ? de fundamental import?ncia para auxiliar pol?ticas de gerenciamento costeiro, dando subs?dios para o planejamento das atividades desenvolvidas nestas regi?es
