104 km away from Fortaleza, in the district of Paraipaba, Lagoinha is one of the largest attractions along the Sol Poente Route. Once an ancient hiding place for French Pirates, today Lagoinha is a quiet fisherman colony situated in a majestic position overlooking an exuberant landscape of coconut trees, white sand beaches, and red dunes that welcome the lazy waves lapping the shores of this natural bay.

You can even take an optional jangada (sailboat) ride on the calm waters of the Almecegas Pond combined with pau-de-arara rides (an open truck used by migrants)! Make sure to enjoy the sumptuous seafood at the local restaurants before your return journey back to your Fortaleza hotel in the late afternoon.

charm, beauty and good walks!!!
Beautiful beach in Ceará, of those worth all day! The landscape is to fill the eyes and the vibe is calm, good for walking and relaxing. The tent structure is good, has that little way that likes. When Lagoinha was more interior, I loved it even more... but the beauty remains there, firm and strong. I did the buggy, catamaran and arara dick tours... all valid and with breathtaking landscapes. Oh, and I went with GirafaTur, which treated me super well! It's not public, you see? I just like to appreciate those who do a good job. By the way, all the beaches I visited with them were great, at the time, but I only share here the ones that really touched me. Lagoinha, for sure, was one of them.

Excellent beach, but during the period we were there it was a great deal (26-30 September 2024). The landscape is breathtaking (see photos in the attachment)

Don't forget to visit Lagoinha
The beach and dunes are very beautiful. And don't forget to take the buggy ride. There is a Catamaran and Pau de Arara tour. Typical of the Northeast. Good places to have lunch with typical Northeastern food and fish and seafood.

Take the tours, they are the key points of the tour.
Lovely place, with wonderful buggy rides, pau de arara truck and boat rides. Easy to take children with you. My 4 year old daughter loved it. Guide George, super good people, calm and communicative.

Discover Fortaleza with competent guides
A true paradise.
Beautiful place, excellent infrastructure.
Very good restaurants.
Place to enjoy with the family. Only the sea has strong waves and requires care from those who don't know it has them.

Tour with complete combo
Very attentive staff from start to finish.
The guide of my Raian tour was very attentive and with great tips ( caipirinhas from Cajá and Siriguela, I recommend 😍 ) . I've left all the other tours I'm going to do on my vacation. Super recommend.

Paradise
Beautiful beach, but what I liked most was the 3 in 1 tour. Buggy + catamaran + arara stick. With a beautiful passage, with stops for photos and bathing in lagoons and waterfalls. Besides happy locals.

Lagoinha Beach
Ameiii, beautiful beach and the support point of the agency excellent and yet has the options of buggy and quad-cycle ride, if you do not want to do you can opt for the beach and the pool with infinite edge of Manzua, which is the point of support
