Lagoa do Cauípe
A calm, shallow lagoon beside Cumbuco with steady winds, a favorite place for kitesurfing practice. Beach bars with chairs and hammocks in the water let you sip coconut while you soak.
Lagoa do Cauípe lies about 5 km west of Cumbuco. Its water is shallow and calm, and the trade winds are steady, making it an ideal site for beginner kitesurfing and freestyle practice. During peak season the lake is covered with colorful kites. Small lakeside bars set tables and hammocks in the shallows, where visitors can eat grilled fish and drink coconut water while soaking in the water. Buggy tours of the Cumbuco dunes often stop here, and you can also take a taxi from Cumbuco.
