STRONGLY RECOMMEND you to visit Morro Branco
===Scenery=== Jaw-dropping landscape. The combination of red rocks, silky smooth sands, and gradient of the turquoise to navy blue waters is going to amaze you. The buggy ride makes it even better. The rush of wind and the speed will ignite your adrenaline!! ===Itinerary=== The buggy tour will take you to a few scenic points - cliffs, rock formations, more beaches, village & dune lake - where you can take photos and relax. The buggy dropped us off at a gas station, where our tour bus came to pick up the group of tourists and took us to our lunch by another beach along Morro Branco. ===Food & Drinks=== The dune lake(small puddle / shallow water by the beach) has some bbq food and drinks. I got some roasted cheese on a stick and a glass of caipirinha. Both were good. They also have several hammocks in the dune lake so bring your swim suits!! After the dune buggy ride, our tour bus took us to the final stop was where we had late lunch. They had buffet style on the ground floor and a-la-carte style on the upper floor. I had a-la-carte picanha (a "sirloin cap" cut). You can't go wrong ordering picanha in Brazil. === Tips!! === - bring sunscreen - sun glasses - maybe a hat (but the wind from riding the buggy will blow your hat off in an instant so put it away when you're on the buggy). - I wish I had a GoPro for this trip. If you have one, bring it!!! - On the way back to Fortaleza, you can ask the tour guide / bus driver to drop you off somewhere else, if you want. I would recommend getting off at the fish market (Mercado Dos Peixes - Market of the fishes), where you can buy your seafood, go over to the beach tables and find a waitor to have your seafood cooked to the style of your liking. I'll leave a review on the fish market soon. ===Service=== Our buggy driver, although spoke only a few words of English, was very friendly, had a great sense of humor and took great photos for my family. Our tour guide spoke very little English. Nonetheless, also very friendly and tried her best to help us. Found this review helpful?

Beautiful
Morro Branco is a stunning beach area about an hour south of Fortaleza. There's a weird labyrinth created by giant sand dunes, and many caves and waterfalls pop up further along the beach. You can book a day trip there through most of the hotels in Fortaleza. It's not too expensive, and a great alternative to the city beaches. Buggy rides to local attractions, quad rentals, microlight flights, rides on jangadas.
