Main tourist attractions
PEDRA FURADA
An enormous stone arch carved by the action of the waves, which is located in the Rocky region of Jericoacoara. This stretch of beach begins after Praia da Malhada, the first beach east of the village, already outside the cove.
Besides the famous Pedra Furada, there are a multitude of other stones with curious shapes, besides the Caves and Natural Pools. The walk through the rocky region is a must-see, but it must be done at low tide, since during the high tide there is no passage, because the sea slopes in Serrote, a mountain range of about 100 mts. sand and covered by undergrowth.
MALHADA BEACH
It is a short beach with waves, being much sought after for surfing and windsurfing in the waves. The Rocky Region extends to about 2 km of coastline, ending at Pedra do Frade.
JERICOACOARA LIGHTHOUSE
This headlamp is a modern electronic equipment that dispenses operators: it is powered by solar energy, and even the operation of exchanging burned out lamps is automatic. Each beacon cycle lasts 10 seconds, with 2 lights lit and 8 lit. The lighthouse is the best place to watch the sunrise and the moon as it offers the best view of the sea to the east.
DUNA SUNSET
Jericoacoara has a privileged geographic location, having sea both to the east and the west, being therefore one of the few places of continental Brazil where it is possible to see sunrise and the sunset in the sea, the same thing happens with the sunrise and the sunset, from the moon.
To see the sunset, the most sought-after spot is a gigantic dune located on the west side of the Village, known as the famous Dune of Sunset. It is already tradition in Jericoacoara, to happen a roda of Capoeira in the beach, every day after the sunset.
MANGUE SECO
A small village in the middle of the dunes, with a small pond of fresh water. Continuing along the beach, you arrive at Guriú, a fishing community, which marks the western boundary of the APA. In Guriú, there is a ferry crossing, where several buggys are passed daily to Tatajuba.
Lagoon of Paradise
The Paradise Lagoon, which is in the municipality of Jijoca, is possibly the one with the most beautiful coloration. Light blue and dark blue blend, providing a spectacle to the eyes and delighting those who choose this lagoon to rest. The nets within the water are tradition for anyone visiting the place.
Jericoacoara Beach
The closest to the village and easier access. It has a great strip of sand and, at low tide, mainly, it is very calm. The beach infrastructure is good and there are several bars and restaurants.
Lagoa do Coração
The Lagoa do Coração is small, little known and has no structure for anyone who visits it. It is ideal for those who want to stay away from everything and everyone, enjoying the dunes and silence. Some people say that the place is not very suitable for bathing because the water stays on.
