Read the full guide for CamocimBefore you go
The transport guides break down every route.
Camocim is the mandatory overnight stop on kite safaris between Jeri and Barra Grande. The Maceió Resort (12 km from center, 222m² pool, sauna, massage) is the best accommodation in the area. The Sun City Rota das Emoções resort — now opening — will completely change Camocim's tourism profile in the coming years.
Camocim is the only point with real urban services (bank, hospital, bus) between Jericoacoara and Barra Grande — and much more than a simple fuel stop: the Rio Coreaú delta offers pristine flat-water kite, Praia do Maceió has 12 km of sand, and the Baía das Caraúbas glamping (bungalows with private pools) launched a new luxury standard for this region.

Calibrated at Camocim, 4 km away. In 2026, 9 in 10 of the curve's highs and lows are within 18 min of an estimate interpolated between the Navy tide tables for Pecém and Luís Correia. Lagoons, river mouths and bays may not follow the open-sea curve.
Tide tip · CAMOCIM
Camocim sits at the mouth of the Rio Coreaú. Boat crossings and trips depend on the tide.
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.
