Cumbuco 🏄‍♀️

Approximately 35 km/22 mi from Refúgio Hostel Fortaleza & Pousada, it’s the Kite-Surfer’s paradise, one of the best kite-spots all over the world. But it’s also a pleasure just hanging out on the beach, enjoying the sun, the sea, doing a Buggy-Trip, a boat-trip on a so-called “Jangada”, riding a horse on the beach and then having a late lunch at the seashore to experience a beautiful sundown.

Canoa Quebrada ⛵

Approximately 165 km/105 mi from Refúgio Hostel Fortaleza & Pousada it is in fact one of the most beautiful beaches in the state of Ceará. The name Canoa Quebrada could be translated with “broken ship”, this is exactly what happened in 1650 when Captain Francisco Soares da Cunha discovered by chance this paradisiac place to fix his ship. The place got really famous in the 60 – 70 among the so-called hippies, it has a beautiful landscape with cliffs shaped in red sandstone and it’s a perfect spot to do sandboarding, windsurfing and kitesurfing.

Morro Branco/Praia das Fontes 🐙

Approximately 90km/55 mi away from Refúgio Hostel Fortaleza & Pousada, and also some of the most beautiful beaches around here. It’s perfect to spend the whole day enjoying the landscape, the crystal water of the sea, doing a buggy trip (optional), just relaxing and having a perfect holiday. At the return to Pousada Refúgio Hostel Fortaleza there will be a stop by at a sugar cane mill.
Praia das Fontes and Morro Branco are part of the combo “3 beache in one day” including Canoa Quebrada.

Lagoinha 🦐

Approximately 115 km/72 mi away from Refúgio Hostel Fortaleza & Pousada, it’s a matter of a authentic postcard theme, its landscape is composed of a large strip of fine and dark sand, sweetwater lagoons, palm trees, green sea and dunes.

The most beautiful and photographic spot is on the “right” side of the beach presenting a mixture of tons of golden dunes, full of palm trees with a greenish sea in the shape o a halfmoon.

Jericoacoara 🦞

Approximately 320 km/200 mi away from Refúgio Hostel Fortaleza & Pousada, it is without any doubt the main attraction in the Northeast of Brazil.

In 1994 it was nominated as one of the ten most beautiful beaches in the world by the “Washington Post”.

We strongly recommend to stay at least overnight and then return to Pousada Refúgio Hostel Fortaleza only the very next day and then continuing to enjoy our Hostel, our Pousada (Inn) just in front, the city of Fortaleza and other paradisiac beaches close by.
We also offer the roundtrip (back and forth). Please get in touch with our staff via WhatsApp or E-mail [email protected]
