Description
Jericoacoara, commonly known as “Jeri”, is a former fishing village in the Brazilian state of Ceará and one of the country's most famous beach destinations. Nestled within Jericoacoara National Park, the car-free village is surrounded by sand dunes, turquoise lagoons, and the Atlantic Ocean. Jeri is renowned for its spectacular sunsets from Duna do Pôr do Sol, the crystal-clear waters of Lagoa do Paraíso and Lagoa Azul, and its world-class conditions for kitesurfing and windsurfing. Sandy streets lined with charming pousadas, restaurants, and bars create a relaxed atmosphere that has become the village's signature. Combining unspoiled nature, Brazilian hospitality, and a laid-back lifestyle, Jericoacoara ranks among the most popular destinations on Brazil's northeastern coast.
