Fishing village about 80 km north-west of Fortaleza, where a sand-and-rock point in front of the village peels mostly left on north to north-east groundswell, best January to April at mid tide. In 2025 it hosted the Taça Brasil, a WSL qualifier and the opening stop of the Circuito Cearense. Beginners should take a lesson from the village surf shop and paddle out on the small morning days.
