Long sandy beach. Lots of space. It is sandy peninsula, so launch anywhere around it. Be very careful during the low tide, because it's absolutely full of outcropping rocks starting from Ihla Do Amor and going on along the cost till Maceio beach.

Best winds from July to end of January. Normally trade/thermal winds from NE during the day. You have side on shore/side winds in front of Ihla Do Amor spot or in the beaches facing the ocean in front of Camocim town. You have very gusty and side off shore/off shore winds in Maceio beach. Very strong and gusty winds in summer with peaks till 40 knots, then you have a decrease starting from December, January and February, but still very gusty wind and in January still peaks of 30-35 knts.

Access: | Short Walk |
Get onto BR402 which goes to Camocim. The peninsula is across from Camocim. There is a bus from Fortaleza, very cheap but it's a very long and tiring trip. Any taxi-buggy service you can find in Camocim, to move out of the town, is very expensive.
Better to avoid fishermen points.
Totally no nightlife in Maceio and just something very low level in Camocim town, it's very better to move to Jericoacoara for a real nightlife.
