Barra dos remédios

Barra dos Remédios is a beach and natural area about 16 kilometers from central Camocim, where wide white sand dunes meet the ocean. Here the Remédios River waters flow into the Atlantic, creating a distinctive landscape where freshwater and saltwater zones meet.

The area has long served as a fishing ground where communities built their livelihoods around maritime work and fishing practices. This economic focus shaped how the region developed and how people settled here over time.

Fishing remains a daily part of life here, with methods and skills passed down through families who have worked these waters for decades. The river mouth and beach are inseparable from how locals earn their living and maintain their connection to the land.

The main way to visit is by joining a buggy or 4x4 vehicle tour departing from Camocim, since there are no accommodations at the beach itself. Booking a guided tour is the practical choice for exploring the area and getting back safely.

Where the Remédios River meets the Atlantic, natural pools form that let you swim in both freshwater and saltwater without traveling far. This unusual feature offers a rare swimming experience in two different water types in one location.
