Serrote & Farol de Jericoacoara

Morro do Serrote

A lighthouse on the top of a green hill east of the village, overlooking the bay, dunes and the coastline toward the Stone Arch.

Serrote is one of the few highlands in Jericoacoara, with a lighthouse on its summit. The climb from Praia da Malhada takes about 30 minutes through low scrub and cacti. From the top, the views are wide open: to the west you can see the village and the sunset dunes, and to the east, the coastline where the Stone Arch is located. You can follow the ridge east and descend to the Stone Arch, completing both in one walk. There is no shade at the summit, and if you descend at sunset, bring a headlamp.
