Urban beaches are usually not that interesting, but the Future Beach (or "Praia do Futuro") is indeed a nice one. It is not far from downtown Fortaleza or the Iracema beach area, with nice public transportation. There are many nice bars and restaurants in the beachfront, which may offer a nice place to have lunch, a drink or even take... More

It is a classic Atalntic golden beach, good for swiimming and surfing. You can easily go there by public bus for few reais. The added value of this place is the structure of Croco Beach. I advice to go there because is beautiful and extreme safe. You can have the key for the box, the waiters come to serve you... More

This extensive stretch of sand contains various sections, each of which owned by private owners. Most have restaurants and generally good service along with tables and chairs of course. The larger ones tend be the better option for tourists due to the provision of food/drink and security along with a reasonable service. HOWEVER, the larger (tourist targeted) sections tend to...

Get there by taxi and ask for the "barracas", some huge beach resorts with restaurants where you will be safe. Beach is very clean and the restaurants offer really nice dishes they take to your very table two steps from the sea. Crowded by nice to watch local and tourists enjoying their day at the beach.

The beach is a nice place to visit, many huts to serve people with great regional and flavourful dishes but you have to be careful with the waves (strong currents much enjoyed by surfers) and the thieves that lurk the area.The beach is surrounded by slum buildings (bouroughs Serviluz, Caça e Pesca and Luxou) so many bad people go down...

The sea was rough and sorta dirty with algae, but the barracas are nice to stay at. Some have pools for children. Food is a bit pricey.

This is the place where everybody from Fortaleza go. A very warm water and clean ocean with dozens of options of restaurants that will provide all you need at the beach. Families can spend all day there and it even wont be expensive.

I just loved the beach, but I didn't like the fact that all Fortaleza beaches have too many huts and you are not allowed to stay alone by the beach.

The beach is clean and the sand is very nice. But there is hardly anything else. The beach bars/cafes and OK (best one we found was at the very end - the Atlantis. There we found good service and some atmosphere) Due to its location the water is always chopy and it's very windy. Which would be fine for sports,... More
