We were here with a local driver and he brought us to a very expensive spot close to the official beach but not the actual one.
Only after we complained he brought us to the official Canao Quebrada beach.
So be careful or preferably book an official tour.

The beach was very nice then and the skyline is beautiful.
It’s very touristic but still nice to be there.
A foto with the logo in the rock is a must 😉

We love a lot!!! We were staying in Fortaleza, and it was worth the trip because the place is beautiful and has lots of options! Clean beach, warm and crystal clear water. The red cliffs add even more beauty to the beach. Besides, the city is beautiful, cozy, with many options, and the staff is receptive. Broadway Street looks like a village, and there is everything there. We took the buggy tour for R$250 and it was totally worth it. I'm enchanted by the place, I would definitely go back!

Canoa Quebrada is one of the most beautiful beaches in Ceará, and ⁇ in the world. It is a place with a very impressive cultural diversity, people from different parts of the world attend. I always go to Canoa, astral here is great...

Like Maragogi, Canoa Quebrada was once a very good beach, very famous. It's gone! Not anymore! The beach today is dirty, and the bars with precarious, medieval services with prices from the Itaim Bibi de São Paulo restaurants, simply ended up with the once beauty of the beach. If you make the tour like I did, you will invariably pass through it, since it is the last beach of the tour. If you are on your own, just pass Morro Branco and the cliffs of Beberibe and forget Canoa Quebrada. Go for me!

Canoa Quebrada beach is one of the most popular in summer. Beach with cliffs, dunes and great tents. In addition to the inns and hotels in the fishing village, the place offers plenty of activities to do during the day. Canoa Quebrada is located in the municipality of Aracati, east of Fortaleza.

Canoa Quebrada beach didn't offer us any points that would allow us to evaluate it better.
We only took the 1-day Canoa Quebrada tour and in a way we regretted it, because perhaps it would have been better to see the cliffs of Morro Branco.
We had to take a buggy ride to see the Dunes, skibunfa which we didn't even do. The skibunda place is high, but falls into a tiny lagoon with green water…not attractive. In Cumbuco, the skibunda was very good.
Then there was a point where we could have walked along the beach and taken a photo at the broken canoe symbol, but they are above it so you can take the buggy ride.
Well, I didn't enjoy much of Canoa Quebrada and I wouldn't go back.
We did Jericoacoara and then we wanted to go back

This place was probably a very nice place before it was TOTALLY overrun by the ubiquitous "barracas", cheap looking beach-bar type establishments. The buggy ride is a joke, the food not that great. To see the red rocks without human additions is nearly impossible. don't get me wrong , the beach is still nice, but you have to look to the sea only. Look sideways or behind you and it's not nice

We had heard great things from our friends about this beach. Most of the people we know had been there several years ago, and, while it´s still a nice spot in Ceará´s coast, I believe it isn´t what it used to be a few years ago. First, let me tell you that this beach is FAR from Fortaleza. It´s a two-hour drive from the city, so you might consider the possibility of staying overnight. The village is nice, although a bit shabby in some parts. There are cozy little bed-and-breakfasts and hotels in an area called "Broadway", so you will have plenty of accomodation to choose from.
The sand cliffs are impressive, but their sight is now almost completely covered by the back-to-back two-story restaurants that line this beach. As far as I know, there used to be no more than two or three of them. Nowadays, there are about 10! The good part is that now you have plenty of options for a nice seafood meal, but the bad side is that several kinds of music, playing to the loudest volume, compete with each other and can be heard everywhere.
The winds, water, and mild surf continue to be the same, though, as well as the beautiful green color of the sea. It´s a VERY wide beach, so it never gets crowded, no matter how many people visit. There are entertainment options such as paragliding, sailing, donkey-riding (yes, that´s right, I said donkey). It´s still a very nice spot, but has lost some of its charm due to overexploitation for commercial purposes.

I have heard outstanding things about Canoa Quebrad which is roughly 90 minutes from Fortaleza Airport. Beautiful beaches, friendly people, good music, good food. My source is a professional travel guide from Britain. Her name is Helen Inman. She was lead guide for a trip my wife and I took across Spain and Portugal and did an outstanding job. Look her up. She owns a house 8 minutes from the beach in Canoa Quebrada. Bill Kester, SC, USA

Never a dull moment here.Everyone can have fun here.Both locals and tourists,domestic and international put away their barriers and just roam in the sun and play on the beach.
There are lots of regional food available.Fish is the preferred meat here.
In addition to the beach area there are many bars and clubs in the village above.
Lots of night life all going down in a laid back atmosphere.
