What to do and see in Jericoacoara, State of Ceara (CE): The Best Beaches

November 25, 2021 Deane Carmody

If you want to step off a plane and be at a mega resort 15 minutes later, Jericoacoara probably isn’t for you. But if you want an unspoiled beach town, and don’t mind bouncing along rough dirt roads for an hour to get there, you might just think it’s paradise. Kitesurfing, windsurfing, Capoeira, and, of course, just lying on the beach are popular activities.

Jericoacoara Beach

Reviewed By flyingdutchman888 - Willemstad, Caribbean

This place is truly undescriptionable, the vibe is amazign, that i never have seen anywhere else in the world. Its a mix of Brazillian and some european tourists with some local natives from Jericoacoara. Very lay back and open lifestyle with a lot of happy people. Don't get surprised when you see any donkey, cow or dogs on the beach! Everybody is one. The beach is great for swimming, wave surfing, windsurfing and you see many kite surfers at the end of the day, who are ending there downwinders.

Malhada Beach

Reviewed By dircim - Jericoacoara, Brazil

The best place inJeri. It's usually you, the wind, sand, the sea and very few people around (compared to the main beach). No bars at this beach. The only music comes from the waves and the wind. There's nowhere to hide from the sun, so if you want to spend some time at this side , bring a hat, make sure you have (more than) enough sunscreen or sunblock on and /or bring your own umbrella ( hehehe). Maybe most people choose to be at main beach because at Malhada, there are lots of stones. Surfers Serrote hill is located by this beach and I strongly recommend seeing the sunset from there. You won't regret it :)

Mangue Seco Beach

Reviewed By wdl - Sunnyvale, United States

This is a stop for the West side buggy tour (whether you book with an agency or hire a private bugueiro). It is also very close to the crossing of "sea horse" boat tour and it is very likely you are doing a stop there. The Mangue seco beach is basically what you see in the shots. It's a nice scenario, and actually a place for relaxation, although you will probably seek refuge in some shading area. You can look for some hammocks or house trees. There are few local selling local crafts and cold drinks. It's a good rest from the bumpy buggy rides. Nearby is the popular crossing of the Guriu river where your buggy or 4x4 will be ferried to the other side of the river via some wooden rafts (jangadas). It is a very interesting scenery. The crossing will take you to boat tours where local villagers/fishermen will take you to search for seahorses. They will pick up a seahorse and put it in a jar so you can view it. I need to rank the whole experience a 5 (it's 1/3 of the west coast buggy tour) as it is very unusual. But I would probably skip the seahorse if I were a regular.
