Cumbuco Beach

Cumbuco Beach is a sandy shore and kitesurf zone on the Ceará coast that stretches for several kilometers. The area features broad expanses of sand framed by palm groves and natural dunes.

The area began as a small fishing settlement and transformed gradually into a tourist destination over the following decades. Early visitors recognized the potential for water sports and leisure activities at this location.

Fishing communities here keep their traditional practices alive, passing knowledge down through families who have worked these waters for generations. You can see small boats and nets along the shore, showing how this way of life remains visible in daily life today.

The beach is reachable by car or public transport from the main urban area nearby. Conditions vary throughout the year and by time of day, so visitors should check local weather and water conditions before heading out, especially for water sports.

The beach earned an international environmental recognition that is awarded to only a handful of locations along the Brazilian coast. This recognition shows that water quality and coastal conditions here meet notably high standards.
