Ceará’s coastline is known for its paradisiacal beaches, year-round warm weather and a favourable environment for water sports and relaxation.
On the east and west coasts of Ceará, dunes and cliffs practically intersperse every beach, as in Canoa Quebrada, Jericoacoara, Aquiraz, Camocim and Bitupitá.
The state of Ceará is one of Brazil’s main tourist centres and the main reason for this is the beautiful beaches scattered along its coastline.
The curious thing is that the Ceará coastline is divided into east and west, unlike most of the rest of the country, which is north and south.
The differences between the two coastlines are quite marked.
The east has beaches that tend to be more crowded, especially the cliffs that are found on most of them.
On the west coast, the beaches are less crowded and have dunes. The capital Fortaleza also offers good beaches for holidaymakers to enjoy.
Ceará’s coastline offers a diversity of landscapes and activities that cater for all tastes, from the adventurous to those just looking to relax by the sea.
