Attractions
Jijoca de Jericoacoara - In Jijoca of Jericoacoara (Municipality of Jeri), which is only 20 km from Jericoacoara, are the Blue Lagoon and Paradise Lagoon, which actually, it's only one pond, which fills with water from rain (between January and June) and ends dividing into two during the summer (July to December). The natural beauty and constant winds, content especially the practitioners of nautical sports, such as windsurfing or kitesurfing.
Paradise Lagoon
The paradise lagoon is south of Jericoacoara, it is a huge freshwater lake (15 km long) with transparent water surrounded by dunes. It has a good infrastructure for tourism and is used for windsurfing and sailing, especially in the months of July and January, period of trade winds. In this pond are prohibited the use of nautical equipments with motor. The place is a total tranquility.
Prea is an authentic village of fishermen, with a small community that keeps the place preserved in time and still capture the daily lives of fish, shrimp and lobster. The village is quite typical tourist because it has little tourism influence. The beach of Prea is starting to develop and already has several restaurants and hotels on the beach. The place is known about everything to get strong winds and offer ideal conditions for practice kitesurfing.
Serrote and Farol - With 98 meters in height, the hill called Serrote is the highest mountain in the region of Jericoacoara and also the barrier that prevents the moving sands reach and cover the town. Formed by quarz, for many years provided stones for construction of the houses of the village. With the creation of the APA, Jericoacoara has banned the extraction of any element of Serrote, and the movement of cars and bugues for its extension. On foot of Serrote is Pedra Furada, and the top is the lighthouse of Jericoacoara, inaugurated in 1952. Here were filmed some scenes of the film 'The Oyster and the Wind', by the Walter Lima Jr.
Tatajuba is a primitive fishing village, 33km away from Jericoacoara. The village was covered by the action of the dunes, and rebuilt by fishermen on the other side of the river. That is why some consider it as New Tatajuba. To reach this beach the best option is to hire a buggy that give you a real rally by the dunes, lagoons, beaches and mangroves. New Tatajuba perhaps represents what Jericoacoara was 20 years ago. The wind is the great artist of this paradise, giving new contours to the landscape at every moment, where the contemplation of nature is the greatest pleasure.

Pedra Furada: the pedra furada is an arc of a huge stone, carved by the action of waves and weather, which is located in the Region of Rocky Jericoacoara (Serrote), which opened after the Praia da Malhada and stretch for about 2 km of coastline. The hole in the center of the arc allows the contour of the Sun fits precisely there to be put in the months of July and August. To reach the Pedra Furada, we must walk approximately 40 minutes by the beach (when the tide is low), taking advantage to exploit the natural pools that are on the way, or by the Serrote (when the tide is high). At any time of year, it is a point of pilgrimage for tourists.
Sunset dune
Well next to the village of Jericoacoara, begin the Sunset Dune, one of the highest and charmind of the region. It is one of the most sought programmes at dusk. Jericoacoara is one of only points in Brazil that allows observe the sun hiding in the sea. Every day in the evening, people return from trips up the dune to see the magic sunset at sea, considered the most beautiful of Brazil. We also see groups of traditional Capoeira (Brazilian-African dance) dancing on the basis of the same dune.
