From Fortaleza drive northwest for about 1 hour to Taiba. In Taiba drive to the main plaza, here turn right and some streets later turn left. A sandy street takes you to the south end of Taiba, where you will find the spot.
Watch out for the surfers, it is a local surf spot.
Some bars and small party locations available, mainly on the weekend. Very fun place to go to during carnival. Great nightlife in Fortaleza.
