Jericoacoara National Park, National park in Ceará, Brazil.
The protected area spans 8,850 hectares of coastal terrain with sand dunes, mangroves, lagoons, and beaches along the Atlantic Ocean.
The transformation from a remote fishing settlement to a protected national park occurred in 2002 to preserve coastal ecosystems and natural resources.
Local communities maintain traditional fishing practices while adapting to nature-based tourism through guided excursions and water sports instruction.
Visitors require four-wheel-drive vehicles to navigate the sandy paths, as regular cars cannot access the park's main attractions.
The geographic position of Jericoacoara allows observers to witness both sunrise and sunset over the ocean from specific locations within the park.
