Fortaleza is one of the largest cities in Brazil. It is located in the northeast of the country and is the capital of the state of Ceara. The city is famous for its countless beaches, bustling nightlife and Brazil's first water park<\/a>. Fortaleza is included in many tourist<\/a> guides and is recommended for visiting as a beach holiday center. I will share my impressions of the trip to this city.<\/p>\n

For us, Fortaleza became a connecting point between Sao Paulo<\/a> and the resort village, where we were heading for a beach holiday. The state of Ceara is the best choice to enjoy the ocean, try water activities<\/a>, recharge and taste fresh seafood, especially during the Brazilian winter.<\/p>\n

Calendar winter in Brazil begins on June 21. At this time, the ocean in the south of the country becomes icy and, unfortunately, you can only enjoy it with your eyes. At the same time, in the north of the country the thermometer does not drop below 30 degrees all year round. That is why holidays in Fortaleza begin to be advertised everywhere during the holiday season.\u00a0<\/p>\n

About the beaches<\/h2>\n

So, let's start with, perhaps, the main attraction<\/a> of Fortaleza – the beaches. They are truly amazing here. They stretch along the entire city, their length is approximately<\/a> 30 kilometers!<\/p>\n

\"Travel<\/a><\/p>\n

The most important beaches<\/a> of the city are Iracema, Meireles and Mucuripe. They are located near the city center. There are also many hotels and inns located here, but the conditions for swimming are not entirely suitable. Actually, just like during my trip to Fortaleza, the water was very pleasant, but the ocean was not calm. Huge waves seemed to drag me somewhere far away.<\/p>\n

Towards evening, after a hot working day, the entire coast quickly fills with people. Everyone dances, sings, plays, drinks, has fun and just chats. If you are a lover of emotional and action-packed nightlife, then Fortaleza should definitely be your choice. There are also bicycle paths along the embankment. And what could be better than taking a ride along the ocean during a light breeze!\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"Travel<\/a><\/p>\n

The best beach in Fortaleza is considered the “beach of the future” (port. Praia do Futuro), but does it live up to its name? In my opinion, not really. This place is located ten minutes drive from the central street of Beira Mar. And, despite dozens of bars, an excellent relaxation area and perfect sand, from the beginning of 2023 a ban on swimming was introduced there.<\/p>\n

How can a beach be considered the best if you can\u2019t take a dip in the warm Brazilian water there? Therefore, be careful not to find yourself in an unpleasant situation, because many tourist guides still recommend this beach as the best place for swimming. Before visiting the city, make sure once again where you can swim and where not.<\/p>\n
