Lagoa do Paraíso
A large lake where white sand meets clear green freshwater. The hammocks hung in the shallows are among the most famous photo spots in Jericoacoara.
Lagoa do Paraíso lies about 20 km southeast of Jericoacoara, beside the town of Jijoca. It is a freshwater lake formed by rainwater and groundwater, with clear blue-green water and fine white sand along its shores. A row of beach clubs on the west shore hangs hammocks in the shallow water, where you can lie in the water and sip coconut water. The clubs usually charge a minimum spend or an entry fee. Most people visit as part of a full-day eastern dune buggy tour, which combines the Blue Lagoon, the Lazy Tree, and Preá Beach, or they take a taxi there.
