Praia de Mundaú, Beach in Trairi, Brazil
Description
Praia de Mundaú is a wide sandy beach along the Ceará coast with extensive dune formations and natural tidal pools when the water recedes. The mouth of Mundaú River divides the shore into distinct zones where different water types meet.
History
The place grew from a small fishing village into a tourism destination while keeping maritime traditions alive. Wind farms now mark the landscape, reflecting how the local economy has shifted over time.
Culture
The fishing community along Mundaú River shapes daily life here, where traditional catch methods and tourism coexist in the same space.
Practical
The beach is reachable by car via highways CE-085 and CE-163 or by intercity buses from nearby towns. Plan your visit around low tide to explore the natural pools and find the best spots for swimming.
Did you know?
Where river meets ocean, unique mangrove landscapes emerge and become especially visible at low tide. These transition zones offer a rare view of two ecosystems that normally stay separate.
