It has a good infrastructure, but it's a beach in the city boundaries, nature is not particularly beautiful. More

We were here with local friends and that's always the best option. Everyone hides under the sunshades because the Fortaleza sun knows no mercy. Around us, several older gays with their local toyboys, some lesbians and local guys showing off. With all the itinerant traders, absolutely no shortage of snacks. But the main dish we ordered in the barraca. Good... More

If you are looking for a place in the beach where you can stay in a place with good restaurants, at teh same time you can sit in the shadow near the ocean or in the sun. Good services, food and drinks. Try places like Terra do Sol, Itaparica and Croco Beach. More

You don`t need to have a private island to be served by the sea with crab, beer and fun. No, here you can. Therre are environmentalists who claim the beach should be cleared. And the barracas...

It's an OK beach, but dirty (overall Fortaleza is NOT clean at all, one cas spot trash in all beaches); too many people walking back and forth trying to sell you all kinds of stuff. Being a foreigner makes it worse, they keep asking you if you're Italian (I wonder why). Had lunch at Chico do Caranguejo, great blue crab... More

The beach is nice and clean. What worries is the excess of bars invading sands, providing the place look very commercial. More
