IGUAPE

The team surrendered. Ah, of course, first time surfing! The beach is 44 km from Fortaleza and access via CE-040 following CE-453 is excellent. Iguape has a good infrastructure of stalls with a varied menu. And, of course, the waves are great for both novice and more experienced surfers. At the end of the day, you can still stop by Centro das Rendeiras and take a souvenir.
BEACH OF AGUAS BELAS

PRAIA DAS FONTES

BROKEN CANOE
A One of the best known beaches in Ceará. Famous for its natural beauty and vibrant nightlife, Canoa Quebrada is located in the municipality of Aracati, about 150 km from Fortaleza. The cliffs are natural attractions with a reddish color that bring a special beauty to the place.
One of the best-known spots is Broadway street, where the hustle of the place is: restaurants, snack bars, supermarkets, shops and even some clubs.
PONTA GROSSA
Ponta Grossa beach is a charm. Beautiful, quiet, a little hidden, without much infrastructure, but it has everything you need for those who want to enjoy a day or two there. It is located in the municipality of Icapuí, 200 km from Fortaleza. The distance from Ponta Grossa to the municipal seat is about 20 km. Access to the beach is quiet via the lane. The cliffs give charm to the place, which vaguely resembles Canoa Quebrada. Rafts adorn the sea and land.
ROUND
Another example of a beautiful beach in Icapuí is Redonda, which is located about 15 km north of the municipal seat. Walking around there is forgetting the problems. The sea forms natural pools of calm waters and part of the beach is embellished by multicolored cliffs, in the format that gives the place its name. The fishing village survives on tourism and lobster fishing, a highlight of the cuisine of the local restaurants. Unfortunately, the beach has been suffering from the advance of the sea, but it is an unforgettable place and should be on your personal list of beach paradises.
QUITERIAS
Quitérias has the great merit of being unknown, which gives the small fishing village a fetish of a place still unexplored. It is also located in Icapuí and a few kilometers from the bustling Tibau-RN. But even so, it remains virtually intact. A hallmark of the beach is the intense movement of the tide. During the morning, it is usually necessary to walk up to 300 meters from the first houses on the beachfront until reaching the sea. A few hours later, the water threatens to invade the houses. An interesting factor of this phenomenon is that you can walk and swim so far in the sea that the water will hardly reach your waist. As the waves are minimal, it feels like swimming in a saltwater pool.
