Praia da Lagoinha
A palm-fringed bay about 120 km northwest of Fortaleza, framed by dunes, and one of Ceará's most photogenic beaches.
Lagoinha lies in Paraipaba. The bay is crescent-shaped, backed by dunes and coconut palms. At low tide natural tide pools form, and the water is clearer than at the city beaches. Visitors can take in panoramic views from the dunes, tour by dune buggy or on horseback, and have a seafood lunch at the beach bars on the shore. From Fortaleza it takes about 2 hours by tour bus, and it is often paired with Trairi, Uruaú and other beaches. The distance is long one way, so set out early.
