Windsurfers in Jericoacoara Brazil Travel Postcard

Jericoacoara, often called simply “Jeri”, is a laid-back beach village in the state of Ceará, northeastern Brazil, famous for its dunes, lagoons, and rustic charm. Once a hidden fishing village, it has grown into an international destination while still retaining its relaxed, bohemian atmosphere. The landscape is defined by vast sand dunes, crystal-clear lagoons like Lagoa do Paraíso and Lagoa Azul, and miles of untouched beaches framed by palm trees. One of the most iconic sights is the Pedra Furada, a natural stone arch by the sea, best reached on a scenic walk along the coast. Adventure and relaxation blend seamlessly in Jericoacoara. Visitors can enjoy kitesurfing and windsurfing—the steady winds make it one of the best spots in the world for these sports—or take dune buggy and horseback rides across the rolling sands. The sunsets from the Duna do Pôr do Sol (Sunset Dune) are legendary, with crowds gathering each evening to watch the sun sink into the Atlantic. With its sandy streets (cars are limited), vibrant nightlife, and stunning natural surroundings, Jericoacoara offers a unique mix of tranquility, adventure, and beauty that captures the spirit of Brazil’s northeastern coast
