Praia do Mucuripe, Coastal beach in Fortaleza, Brazil
The beach stretches along the Fortaleza coastline with a boardwalk, palm trees, and fishing boats anchored near the shore against the Atlantic Ocean.
During the 1980s, the first residential buildings emerged along the beachfront, transforming the traditional fishing area into an urban coastal neighborhood.
Local fishermen maintain their traditional practices using wooden jangadas boats, contributing to the maritime heritage of northeastern Brazil.
Visitors can purchase fresh seafood at the Mercado do Peixe market and have it prepared immediately at nearby establishments.
The beach connects directly to the commercial port of Fortaleza, creating a contrast between maritime industry and recreational activities.
