Tatajuba, Beach in Ceará, Brazil

Tatajuba is a beach in the municipality of Camocim, at the far western end of Ceará's coastline, about 390 kilometres from Fortaleza. It lies where the Coreaú River meets the sea, and the sand is reached by ferry crossing or by 4x4 and buggy tracks.

The original village was completely relocated when shifting sand dunes buried the old settlement, leaving only rooftops visible beneath the sand. The communities that exist today were established at new locations further along the coast.

Fishing remains central to daily life here, and you can watch craftspeople using traditional methods in their work. These practices shape how the communities live and interact with the sea.

From Fortaleza, the route runs via BR-222 to Sobral and Granja, then a dirt road to the district of Parasinho; from there only a 4x4 or a buggy can continue. A second option follows the Sol Poente highway to Itapipoca and Sobral, with the same final stretch. From Camocim, cross the Coreaú River by ferry and continue by buggy or 4x4.

There are several natural lagoons with clear water in this area, located within a protected zone, and they offer a quieter experience away from the shore. These lagoons are less visited than the beach itself but worth exploring.
