Praia do Futuro, Beach area in Fortaleza, Brazil
The 8-kilometer stretch of golden sand along the Atlantic Ocean features numerous beach tents and restaurants serving fresh local cuisine.
The development of Praia do Futuro as a tourist destination began in the mid-20th century, transforming the coastal area into a recreational hub.
Local vendors and beach restaurants, known as barracas, serve traditional Brazilian seafood dishes while offering tables directly on the sand.
Visitors can reach the beach via the 49 Caça e Pesca bus from Fortaleza center or by taking a connection at Terminal Papicu.
The beach maintains constant water sports activities with designated areas for surfing, beach volleyball, and paddleboarding throughout the year.
