Once the sun has disappeared behind the waves, everyone gives a round of applause before heading back home for dinner.
Extremely beautiful, however super windy! Be prepared.

An absolute must for every visitor to jeri. it is a breathtaking experience to be on the dunes at sunset. Highly Recommended
Sebastian Dzugga — Google review
Really a must-see/do event while here. First, Duna Por do Sol (Sunset Dune) is so close to the town; second, if the sun is out, you will be in the company of hundreds of others who climb this gently sloping dune for a chance to take some spectacular sunset photos. There are people selling drinks up and down the dune, so you can make a small party out of the event.

Pedra Furada is a stunning arch-shaped rock formation located on the beach, offering picturesque photo opportunities with the backdrop of crashing blue waves. Accessible via various paths, including a mix of sand and grass trails, reaching the site involves an approximately one-hour walk with some moderate to steep sections. Visitors can also opt for horse-drawn carriages for transportation. The trek offers breathtaking views along the way, making it a rewarding experience.
July, 2023. We took the public free Jardinera/bus from the parking lot to the front of the hike.
There are multiple paths made of a mix of sand and grass. You can ware flipflops or tennis, but once you get to the beach definitely flipflops. You can also hire a horse/carriage to bring you up.
The walk is about 1 hour and the first 45, min is easy to moderate the last 15 you have a descent with steep steps and loose rock.
I recommend start walking around 4:15 pm and bringing a flashlight for the way back if you don't want to walk in the dark.
There will be a line of people in front of the rock waiting for photos. You could join the queue or position yourself a bit farther and see the whole rock with the sunset.
The experience is worth it, the wiews are incredible.
Moises Gomez — Google review
The most beautiful part is the trekking alongside the beaches through the hills. The rock itself is just a rock with a big hole in the middle.

A little bit of a walk but it’s good exercise and the view along the way makes every minute of it worth it! Make sure to budget a few extra minutes if you want a picture before the sunset - there’s a bit of a line for the photo.

Beautiful spot for a nice picture... the walking from the village via ocean shore is fantastic, but you really need to time it... otherwise the tide rises and you can get caught up.. it can be dangerous...
Leandro Pacca — Google review
Its an hour walk back and forth with a comfortable pace from the center. I left early in the morning at 06.30 i found this to be very rewarding cos it wasn't hot and there wasn't a lot of people there at that time of the day.
the walk offers you a view of a different kind of vegetation - more green which means you get to see some cows and donkeys on the way. Its a cool tour to do whilst in Jeri
Liesel81 — Google review
Access requires a good 10 min walk in a steep area. On sunny days, there is literally a line up of people waiting to make a photo. Overrated.

Loved Amontada the beach is beautiful, spacious with warm calm clear waters great to swim and for families with kids. The only negative point that I like to highlight, unfortunately happening in many beaches here is the traffic of cars, trucks, buggy’s and motorbikes is pretty intense and dangerous specially on weekends. Be cautious when walking. They have several pousadas along the beach to stay and many restaurants. Amanda is popular for kitesurfing and windsurfing. The beach is starting to deteriorate due to the fact of high traffic on the sand and the lack of garbage cans.

It's pretty beautiful, like almost all beaches of Ceará, but I really recommend you to search for the Barraca das Ostras (Oysters Shack). There you can eat very cheap oysters and take a boat along the river in the mangrove, so you see a lot of the fauna and flora from the city, pass through the love tunnel, and can see the dunes. Besides that, there is another shack, just after the dunes, following the river, that sells a shells stew, that is the definition of amazing.

(Translated by Google) Urbanized-style beach, like all beaches in large cities, is quite urbanized, that is: it makes a direct contrast with urban life and the leisure and natural beauty of the sea and beach, but this is not a negative thing, on the contrary, due to The renovations that took place on the boardwalk made the beach very beautiful and organized. There are several food stall options, from restaurants to snacks, and the prices vary. There are always BPTUR police vehicles patrolling the surrounding area and also bicycle policing. The promenade is quite spacious, you can cycle, skate, walk and run to your heart's content. At night it's difficult to park because it's full of visitors. The beach borders Iracema beach and Mucuripe beach.

Praia ao estilo urbanizada, assim como todas as praias de grandes cidades, é bastante urbanizada, isto é: faz contraste direto com a vida urbana e o lazer e beleza natural do mar e praia, porém isso não é algo negativo, pelo contrário, devido as reformas que houve no calçadão, a praia ficou muito bonita e organizada. Há diversas opções de barraca das de comida, desde restaurante até lanche, e os preços são os mais variados. Há sempre viaturas policiais do BPTUR patrulhando pelas redondezas e também policiamento de bicicleta. O calçadão é bastante espaçoso, dá para andar de bicicleta, patins, caminhar e correr a vontade. De noite é ruim de estacionar porque enche de visitantes. A praia faz divisa com a praia de Iracema e com a praia do Mucuripe.
Praia do Futuro is a long, wild beach located about 10km / 6mi from the city centre. It's a great spot for swimming and sunbathing, as well as sampling some of the delicious seafood dishes that abound in the area. There are several beach bars and restaurants near by, making it an ideal place to spend a day in Fortalezas.

Very good beach. Maybe the best one in Fortaleza. However, you have to be careful for the criminals. There are a lot of pickpockets, stickups and armed robbery. It is safe if you come only for a bath and enjoy the sun without anything in your hands or inside your pockets. Bring only your hotel key and nothing else.

Be very very careful as a tourist you stand out and there are group of boys from the dilapidated neighbourhood looking to mug tourists or anyone showing possessing phone or expensive glasses/shoes. They have knives and attack even in front of other people on the beach as no one risk intervening fearing reprisal. Avoid this beach or take your own risk!

Praia do Futuro itself is presumably safe, but the marker at this location is misleading - it's the very north end of the beach. A block north begins the Serviluz favela. It's super unsafe at this point and even more so farther north.

With four hotels and an expansive waterslide park, this resort has something for everyone. Insano, the world's tallest water slide, is definitely a highlight for thrill seekers; while those looking to relax can enjoy the lazy rivers and sauna.
Going to the Beach Park in Fortaleza is an experience that I would recommend across the board. They are one of the largest water parks in the world with attractions that span the range from low to extreme intensity. I’ve had the opportunity to go there a few times as a child and went again now as an adult and it was just as fun as I remembered.
Good:
1 - Excellent service. Employees are polite and knowledgeable.
2 - Lot’s of food options.
3 - Queues are not too long.
4 - Several options of attractions.
5 - Great layout with distribution of food/beverage kiosks, high/low intensity rides and pools distributed throughout.
6 - Easy access from hotel complexes.
To Improve:
1 - The power went out when I was there. It took around 10 minutes for the attraction I was at to normalize. This is lack of proper engineering or configuration of the backup systems. A diesel generator should kick-in and stabilize within 1 minute of a power outage. Moreover, given that power to the attractions is essential to the proper operation of the park, they should have a UPS battery backup to sustain the park for a duration long enough for generators to kick in.
2 - The meat/bacon burger at the Beach Burger kiosk was bad. Dry and hard. Almost inedible. The chicken option was much better.
3 - A few attractions were closed. I understand this can happen. However, this needs to be informed extremely well to park goers. Ideally in a language that humanizes the situation. “Sorry, our pump is sick today but the attraction will be up in x days”.
4 - The lazy river was weaker than I expected. There were less pumps on?
5 - The Hupa/Hopa was not doing the water discharge to speed up the attraction as it used to.
6 - No way to keep track of time when around park since there are no clocks. Add some?
Even though I am giving the park a 5-star review, I hope that the feedback can be put to use. If Beach Park plans on becoming “the Disney of Brazil” nothing short of perfect is enough.

Nice water park that's FUN for everyone. Not all the rides were open but still an enjoyable time. About $45 Admission with about $5 for a locker. You can find parking nearby in an open lot on the left side as you approach the entrance for about $2. There's also "Beach Park" parking available but not sure of the price. Inside the park you can purchase a "Food Package" option or choose to eat at the facilities inside or outside of the park area.

The beach park offers a vast expanse with a wide array of activities suitable for a diverse age range spanning from three-year-olds to those in their sixties. Our visit to the park took place on a weekend, and despite the large crowd, waiting times for most activities were surprisingly short. Safety was a top priority, evident in the presence of numerous vigilant lifeguards stationed throughout the park. They were extremely dedicated to their roles. Personally, my most exhilarating experience was the "Insano," which provided a thrilling adrenaline rush.

I went in January 6 and it was crowded!! It was fun but I had to wait 30 minutes~ 1 hour in line for each one... if you wanna go there avoid January, July and December because it's Brazil's highschool vacation months!

Short wait times on rides without floats, on the ones with floats you might waste more than 30mins. Huge lines in the food bars. 1 hour wait times.

Worst money ever spent. The park is not organised, where you have to queue for EVERYTHING. Ticket and towel purchase are in two different places, there isn’t enough staff for a day that wasn’t even busy, where you’re waiting for a long time to get an overpriced meal. The park doesn’t offer fast track for any attraction and there’s no guidance or maps you can use during the day. Waste of money and time.

Super fun huge huge huge place, too much for one day. 26th december, crowded but everything went fast. After fast entering, there was a second line for buying credit and locker but went smooth. Food was all on credit that you have to buy in advance and locker is optional. Soo, no walking with money (locker).
Lots of security and everywhere strict lifeguards. Only minus is there isn't allot of seatings, everywhere full. Some people were very friendly to share or leave your belongings with them. But still keep an eye on your stuffs. Just walking with your towel was enough, the rest you leave at your locker.
Also, floor very hot, so don't forget your slippers or watershoes. The rids were very busy, wait in lines but went well after your wait.
ALL, very nice very hugh very attractive especially wild ride and tons of fun for the kids.... learn the portugese!!!

I insist anybody visiting Brazil go to this beach park it is amazing. We stayed at these condos right next to the beach park. They were beautiful. It had a nice quiet, swimming pool. The beach Park and condos are a perfect place for family to visit.
If you want to stay at the condos, use google maps and search town houses II.

A really fun place to visit but very busy and there were long queues for everything, including food outlets. We only managed 4 rides in the entire time we were there. It is only open from 11am to 5 pm. 5 stars if we went on a quiet day!

I love there. Although I believe the attractions than were closed because of the pandemic could reopen with some cautions.

The cliffs aren’t here despite the photos! It’s a beautiful beach surrounded by what look like party houses, but the drive is a rough one (the most fun part of heading this way 😅) over rocky roads and wet red sand.
For the cliffs lol for Labirinto das Falésias de Morro Branco
You’ll see the hill with the white tower from the beach, it’s back that way ☺️

It was in 1983 and we had wonderful time at the beach. I remember the colorful fishingboats with their large sails, some being rolled up on the beach. The multicolored sand and the artistic sand pictures inside bottles. And friendly people.

Natural Monument of Beberibe Cliffs
Nature & Parks
Park
The Natural Monument of Beberibe Cliffs is a breathtaking stretch of protected cliffs and dunes that offer stunning views of the beach. This geological paradise is a must-visit for enthusiasts, although it's advisable to research the rock formation beforehand as local guides may lack knowledge in this area. Arriving early in the morning is recommended to avoid crowds from tours later in the day. The site boasts a wonderful story and visitors can enjoy the humorous and lively commentary of tour guide Wesley.
Absolutely stunning.
If you are interested in geology, this is paradise but I suggest you read about the rocks formation before you visit because local guides often don't know much about the geological formation of the area.
Also, try to get there early in the morning as it is full of tours from 11 onwards.
Highly recommended

If you want a day of admiring natural beauty, take a tour to this place! The natural occuring cliffs offer beautiful pictures, hiking, and exploration. The tour, consisting of a Portuguese speaking guide, takes about 40 minutes and involves walking through a small market area in which they really try to sell you on projects created by the sand. The guide will pose you in many, many, places and take photos at different angles looking for a bigger tip at the end of the tour. If possible, take the dune buggy tour, as it allows you to see even more of the landscape!

(Translated by Google) Ponta Grossa beach in Icapuí is a great option for those who like more reserved/calmer beaches. The place is beautiful and there is an incredible sunset over the dunes! In the restaurant, which is located very close to the beach, there is the option of a buggy and quad bike ride. The Buggy tour includes several beaches in the region and takes more than two hours, ending in the dunes; The tour costs on average 200/250 reais (Cash and debit/credit card payments accepted). The company I took the tour with was Canaã Turismo and the buggy driver was super attentive.

No restaurante que se localiza bem próximo a praia tem a opção de passeio de Buggy e de quadriciclo. O passeio de Buggy contempla várias praia da região e são mais de duas horas de passeio, finalizando nas dunas; o passeio custa em média 200/250 reais( Aceita pagamentos a vista e no cartão de débito/crédito). A empresa que fiz o passeio foi a Canaã Turismo e o motorista do Buggy foi super atencioso.

(Translated by Google) It has natural pools, but with rocks, a good walk with beautiful landscapes, a lot of algae on the beach can have a bad smell, but only for a small space before Ponta Grossa beach.
It's best to take a buggy ride for up to 3 hours in the morning, and if it's low tide you can go along the beaches.
There is no place close to the beach with infrastructure that offers shops, restaurants, swimming pools...
(Original)
Tem piscinas naturais, porém com pedras, bom passeio com belas paisagens, muitas algas na praia podem ter mau cheiro, mas apenas por um pequeno espaço antes da praia de Ponta Grossa.
Melhor fazer passeio de Buggy por até 3 horas durante a manhã, e se estiver com maré baixa dá pra ir pela beira das praias.
Não tem local próximo da praia com infraestrutura que ofereça lojinhas, restaurante, piscina...

In Ponta Grossa we can enjoy incredible experiences: trails in the mangroves and dunes, contemplating marine manatees, buggy and boat rides and visits to the archaeological collection. Furthermore, it is imperative to enjoy the relaxing bath in the calm sea. Ponta Grossa has a good accommodation and food structure.

(Translated by Google) A place with exuberant nature, where you can observe dunes at the seaside, cliffs, reefs and the view provided by the movement of the tides. When the tide is low, if we head to the right, we can access Redonda beach. In Ponta Grossa you have options for restaurants, accommodation, buggy rides, quad bike rides, among other things. I had the opportunity to have lunch, and the fish was very well served and at a fair price. Very good place to spend a weekend.

(Translated by Google) I loved the beach. A paradisiacal and preserved place. There we find lobster skewers and boat trips where they take us to see the fish. Just one observation: Take this tour at 8..9 am, as when the tide is high the tour is not good. We get hurt because of the corals, we swallow a lot of water and the guides encourage us to do it late, but it's not comfortable or safe for us. I have both black arms and back, because I was injured, and my toe was cut.

Amei a praia. Um lugar paradisíaco e preservado. Nela a gente encontra espetiNho de lagosta e passeios de barco onde nos levam p ver os peixinhos. Só uma observação : Façam esse passeio 8..9 hs da manha, pois qdo a maré enche não fica legal o passeio. A gente se machuca, por conta dos corais, a gente engole bastante agua e os guias ficam incentivando a gente a fazê-lo em horários tarde , mas que não fica confortável e seguro p gente. Estou com os dois braços roxos e costa , pois me machuquei, e dedo do Pe cortado.
