canoa quebrada

Walking there at night is cool, you can see the shops, restaurants and tipical arts. There are differents restaurants there, try to choose one whose cook a good fish.

If you have seen mor Branco you loose time going up to canon QuebradaStay on one of the previous beaches... Less popular and cheaper

Canoa Quebrada (Broken Canoe) is a special beach area on the east direction of Fortaleza. It is a two hour drive that is worth taken. On the top of a falesia, a red sand dune bluff or cliff, enchants everybody that goes there. The warm waters and the ebb tide, creates an enjoyable moment only possible on this kind of environment. The ebb tide and the sand cliffs presents a breathtaking scenario. Lots of charming "pousadas" (small hotel or boarding houses) will give you a place to stay. Sure you will find one that suits your needs. Very good and affordable restaurants you can find at "Broadway street" a walking pathway of a few blocks that holds all the night life of "Canoa". A group of local craftsman, on the street, completes the charming environment of this place.

We loved Canoa. It is a small little place with great beaches and a bustling night life. The downtown area is super cute and it has a few good restaurants to go to. We really enjoyed the local "barracas" and it is a wonderful place to rest (or be active if you so chose to).

If you are in Fortaleza for a week, take an excursion and come to see Canoa Quebrada. It is 180 km from Fortaleza in a more or less good road (bad at near Canoa). It is a beach you must visit if you are for a week in Fortaleza. If you have only one day to spend, take an excursion unless you want to be about 5 hours driving. If you have more than a day and will sleep in Canoa, then it is better to rent a car and come. The views are very nice. If you are spending the weekend take the buggy ride. Take cash with you to eat lobster at one of the stops.

this place is good 24 hrs the beach is great allot of place to eat and at night the main street has manny options

The wind is less, similar to cumbuco but nicer city, and cleaner. its mostly ocean kitiing with one spot downwind river, can be crowded i f busy because it is not very big. Bring 10-15M kites

Never a dull moment here.Everyone can have fun here.Both locals and tourists,domestic and international put away their barriers and just roam in the sun and play on the beach.There are lots of regional food available.Fish is the preferred meat here.In addition to the beach area there are many bars and clubs in the village above.Lots of night life all going down in a laid back atmosphere.

Well if you like beach buggies - this is THE place for you. They are everywhere!! Canoa is a lovely little place with lovely beaches and lovely restaurants. When you are taken to Canoa, say, on a coach trip, you are heavily steered towards particular Barracas that all very, busy, efficient but more expensive than the local rivals. Their trade is guaranteed and after falling into this trap on the first day, we soon wised up and looked at the smaller players. If you speak Portuguese you can negotiate better than if you can't - which is the same all over Brazil. What we did find was that the hawkers concentrated on the barracas with guaranteed customers willing to pay more for the same, so in fact, you found yourself being bombarded with hawkers literally every two-three minutes.We eventually found a barraca where we could escape from the hawkers (mostly) and this was barraca "Lazy Days" - Yes the English one! But trust me this wasn't serving up English breakfasts and a copy of the Sun - if that's your idea of a holiday - please don't go to Brazil - you'd hate it! Lazy Days was run by Italians (yes - wonder why... hmm) although owned by an Englishman. Some of the Italians working there even spoke Portuguese. Lazy Days wasn't the only "cool" barraca, the "Barraca Freedom" looked equally cool but more in need of a paint job etc. At night there were plenty of restaurants, however none got near the "Costa Brava" in terms of value for money and quality, other restaurants were merely average - although we did hear good reports regarding "Churrascaria El Argentina". The day trips to canoa usually include the Buggy trips to three beaches - ok so that's an extra 40 rials - but worth it for a couple of hours of getting out in the sun on the back of a buggy. Although the beach buggy safari at Jerricoacara was longer and more entertaining, this was good too.The Broadway is just the main focal point of Canoa at night and the place really comes to life at weekends when sun seekers head away from the cities in search of a good time. The whole vibe picks up and changes from a sleepy little village to night life looking to rival the big cities.Canoa's fine beaches and the ability to stay at fine locations (such as the Pousada Presdente Hotel) with ability to sample fine dining makes this an ideal location away from the big city!

When in this part of Brazil, this is a great place to go. It`s like a Brazilian Grand Bend (Canada) and is a wonderful coastal village to visit. Our room was perfect and very private at Oasis das Reis. (oasis of kings) next to the pool with an ocean view. Eat in your bikini in lively restaurants on the beach, or buy drinks from the donkey cart travelling down the beach. Incredible dune buggy rides to secluded dunes and a hidden oasis offering more drinks to help you enjoy your vacation. Also short cruises on small Brazilian sailboats at a very reasonable price. Many types of food are available day or night. Canoa is a short ride from Fortaleza on the NE coast, i would recommnend to anyone visiting this part of Brazil.

Cano quebrada is a greatr place to visit, quiet by daylight and festive by nightlight. Broadway is the street that crosses the middle of the city where everything happens...very beautiful people and great nightclubs and restaurants. Just be careful with the drug addicts that are everywhere.

Canoa Quebrada is a small beach town about 2 hours from Fortaleza. Its beach has a cliff scenario, with paragliders flying around, many bars with local food (lobster, shrimp, pargo fish, etc). It´s possible and recommended to spend at least an entire day there. Many leisure tourism options are presented to the visitors all time. In my opinion, the buggy thing is not worth on that beach, you rather rent a quadbike, much more fun! For buggies, Cumbuco beach has a more attractive option. Restaurants close to the big stair are more expensive. Tour guides will probably leave you at one of them... go for a short walk (5 minutes) and get same quality for half price and better service.Overall, I loved the city... it´s also perfect for long weekends. Night life, beach, good food... worth the visit!

Great beach with easy access from a major airport. The village is small but has great restaurants. I took kite surfing lessons and I loved it.

friendly,i now live here and enjoy the small community and beautiful scenic areas, lovely warm waters and body surfing early in the morning,come and have a look

Very busy beach, full of young people drinking......Not very much my style and what I am looking for on a beach, but the view is stunning!Beautiful beach!
