Jericoacoara

Jijoca de Jericoacoara, CE, Brazil
🚶Difficult access

Jericoacoara is a legendary Brazilian beach destination, a former fishing village only accessible by 4x4 across the dunes. Famous globally for kitesurfing, it also produces solid beach breaks when NE swells push in during the wet season. The car-free sand streets, epic sunset dune, and bohemian atmosphere make it one of Brazil's most magical places.
