Kiting on Jeri's main beach is restricted — kitesurfers ride at Preá (15 km east) and Guriú (10 km west). Stay in Jeri for the nightlife, gastronomy, and lagoons; kite at the satellites. ATMs empty during holidays — withdraw ahead of time. 4x4 required to arrive: no regular car enters the village.
Jericoacoara is the social capital of Brazilian kitesurfing and one of the world's most famous beach destinations: no cars on the sandy streets, turquoise lagoons, sunset over an iconic dune, and more than 26 kite schools. Fraport's R$240M airport investment (concession Dec/2025) and the Alchymist complex with Latin America's largest pool (6,000 m²) confirm that Jeri is still at its peak.

Tide advice · JERICOACOARA
Sunset at Sunset Dune is best at low tide — wider beach. Kite on main beach works at any tide.
Spring Tide — Expect more extreme tides. Great for filling lagoons, be cautious at beaches.
Heights in meters above chart datum. “Mean level” is the average of this day’s extreme heights; it does not indicate depth.
We calculate tides using FES2022 harmonics and calibration data from FEMAR reference stations. Heights use the model’s reference-station baseline, not measurements at each village. For rivers and inland locations, the curve is a coastal tide reference; it does not predict local water levels.
