Prainha, Beach in Aquiraz, Brazil.
The beach extends along the coast with white sand bordered by rows of tall palm trees and the Atlantic Ocean waters.
The region of Aquiraz holds the distinction of being the first colonial settlement in Ceará, established by Portuguese settlers in the early 1700s.
Local fishermen maintain traditional fishing methods, using small wooden boats called jangadas to catch fresh seafood daily.
Visitors can reach Prainha by taking a 40-minute drive from Fortaleza, with regular bus services departing from the central terminal.
The beach features natural pools formed by coral reefs during low tide, creating protected areas for swimming and snorkeling.
