Prainha beach

Prainha is a beach located to the south of Fortaleza in Brazil. It's not crowded, but still relatively close to the city. There are always strong waves in the ocean. So the swimming is safe only on sandbanks exposed during the low tide. In addition, on the right, there is a freshwater lagoon with good swimming (POND MACEIÓ Prainha Aquiraz). There are also scenic sand dunes nearby being popular as buggy rides excursions. Shore and seabed: sand. [edit]

Hotels [edit]

In Prainha hotels, rooms' rates start from US$50. While great pool villa can be rented from US$120 per night. It makes sense to choose a hotel located close both to ocean, as well as to the lagoon. However, it is not so important, since the town is small enough.

How to get there [edit]

Fly to Fortaleza International Airport (FOR). Next get by bus or hire a taxi.

When to go [edit]

The best time for a beach holiday in Prainha is a dry season from June to January.
