About Flecheiras
Fishing village with natural pools, dunes, and lagoons. Base for buggy tours to Mundaú.
Flecheiras was named the Most Welcoming Destination in NE Brazil by Booking.com (2024) — and deservedly: a fishing village with a century-old bobbin lace tradition, Brazil's third largest reef marine biodiversity system forming natural coral pools, and a restaurant scene that punches well above its weight, from the classic Caravela (34 years) to the contemporary Sacada Beach by Nono.

Practical intel
The natural pools are only visible at tides below 0.2m — check the tide table at pt.tideschart.com (Porto de Pecem) before going. There are no ATMs in the village — withdraw in Trairi (12 km) or Fortaleza. Alísio Watersports and VentoVinte Beach Club are in Emboaca (~5 km from the village), not in Flecheiras — confirm the address with your hotel.
