The village of Barrinha, in Ceará, carries the typical tranquility of still little-visited natural paradises.
AWA Beach Villas has gathered some useful information about Praia da Barrinha.
Barrinha pairs well with 3 to 4 days, and can be combined with a trip that includes Praia do Preá (about 15 minutes away) and Jericoacoara (about 30 minutes, depending on the tide and route).
The village has well-stocked supermarkets, local organic producers and fish markets — good general supplies for a quiet, extended stay.
The region has strong, steady winds during much of the second half of the year, the most sought-after period for kitesurfing, windsurfing and foiling.
Among the region's gastronomic references are Komaki — known for its lobster and octopus dishes —, Terral Gastronomia and L'Abri. You can also buy fresh fish straight from local fishermen's boats.
Enjoy clear waters, dunes, lagoons and the extensive preserved beach, plus a striking sunset — all at a peaceful pace, away from the busier crowds found in other destinations of the region.
Barrinha is about 15 minutes from Praia do Preá and about 30 minutes from Jericoacoara, with beach access possible at low tide. Talk to us and we'll suggest the best route.
The region is excellent for kitesurfing, windsurfing and foiling, with strong and steady winds especially in the second half of the year.
