Canoa Quebrada, Beach resort in Aracati, Brazil
Located 160 kilometers from Fortaleza, Canoa Quebrada features red cliffs rising above emerald waters, extensive sand dunes, and a 4-kilometer shoreline.
Initially a fishing settlement, this coastal village transformed from a secluded hippie destination in the 1970s into a significant tourist center of northeastern Brazil.
The Dragão do Mar street, nicknamed Broadway, forms the social center of the village with numerous restaurants offering regional seafood and live music performances.
The beach maintains an average temperature of 28°C throughout the year, with occasional rainfall between February and May, making it accessible in all seasons.
Local regulations protect the distinctive red cliffs that border the beach, while strong winds create perfect conditions for kitesurfing and paragliding activities.
