Barraca Fortal beach

Barraca Fortal is the east beach of Fortaleza city in Brazil. It is also known as Praia do Futuro. The beach is long, beautiful and comfortable. There are many palms, as well as upscale beach clubs - often with pool. However, there are also free areas with scenic views around. North end of the beach (near city center) is more beautiful, but with strong ocean waves. As for the south, there are not so many palms. But on the other hand, it's not overcrowded, while the swimming is comfortable for children due to pretty shallows. So this place has everything one might expect from a perfect beach holiday. Shore and seabed: sand. [edit]
