Jericoacoara Beach, Jericoacoara

Set within a national park, Jericoacoara Beach stretches as far as the eye can see, attracting surfers, kitesurfers, and nature-lovers. Sand dunes border the pristine beach, which features blue lagoons, interesting rock formations, and stretches of gold sand. Protected against development since 1984, the scenery here inspired The Washington Post to rank it as one of the world's top ten beaches. Nearby attractions include a rustic fishing village and a dune from which you can watch the sun sinking into the ocean at sunset. Expect to travel a ways to get here, including 45 minutes off-road.
