Trairi

Trairi is a coastal municipality in Ceará that stretches along the Atlantic Ocean and includes four main beaches: Flecheiras, Guajirú, Emboaca, and Mundaú. These beaches feature pale turquoise waters and fine sand that shape the region's landscape year-round.

European missionary activity began in the late 17th century when priests arrived to establish contact with indigenous populations, marking the first documented external presence in the area. This early encounter shaped the region's longer-term development.

Residents view the beaches as the center of daily life, using them for fishing and gathering. The local place names reflect the region's deep connection to its coastal environment.

A new dual-carriageway between Flecheiras and Fortaleza reduces travel time and improves beach access for visitors coming from the state capital. Allow time to explore the different coastal areas and become familiar with local conditions.

Large wind farms in the dunes between Barra Grande and Mundaú River harness the strong coastal winds for power generation. These modern installations are visible across the landscape and demonstrate how the region uses new energy sources while raising questions about environmental impact.
