Manatee tours depart daily — buy tickets in advance from ICMBio, as groups are limited. Mero Hotel Boutique and Villa Castanheiras are the best local accommodations. Combine the visit with Barra Grande (8 km): Cajueiro da Praia is quieter and cheaper, and works well as a base for both destinations.
Guided tours offer the chance to observe manatees in their natural habitat. Sightings are not guaranteed: check conditions and the type of boat used with local guides. Just 8 km from Barra Grande, the town also has the Cajueiro Rei (King Cashew Tree), with a canopy of around 8,800 m², according to information published by the Municipal Council. The Guinness-recognized record remains with the cashew tree in Pirangi, Rio Grande do Norte.

Calibrated at Luís Correia, 37 km away. In 2026, 9 in 10 of the curve's highs and lows are within 19 min of the Navy tide table there, likely from the same source. Lagoons, river mouths and bays may not follow the open-sea curve.
Tide tip · CAJUEIRO DA PRAIA
The beach has reefs. Natural pools appear at low tide, which is also the best time for a walk.
Heights in meters above the model's reference level. “Mean level” is the average of this day's extreme heights; it does not indicate depth.
We calculate the tide with the FES2022 model, calibrated for each place to a reference station from the FEMAR catalog. Where we can, we compare the curve with the Brazilian Navy's tide tables. On rivers and inland, the curve shows the coastal tide, not the water level there.
Strong, moderate or weak: the word compares the day's range with this place's usual range, not with other places.

Motion starts on its own when the visualization is in view.
SpeedThe flow speeds up with the wind speed at the selected hour. At zero wind it stops.
DirectionThe dot on the compass marks where the wind comes from. The lines move downwind.
GustsThe ring shows the difference between wind speed and gust speed. Without valid gust data it disappears.
An illustration only: it doesn't simulate how often gusts arrive.
