Canoa Quebrada is a small beach town located 163km south of Fortaleza. This small fishing town charmed backpackers, who were traveling through the north of Brazil in the 70s, to stay. Slowly, this town has been growing due to tourism, but it is unknown to most travelers.
The coast has many fine sand beaches backed by huge pink sand dunes.
Hippy travelers have made this town a family-oriented beach destination.
Outdoor activities in Canoa Quebrada include excursions in dune buggies, horseback riding, sailing in a ‘jangada’ boat, mountain biking, sandboarding, kitesurfing, and windsurfing.
