About Luís Correia
Capital of Piauí beaches. 46 km of coastline with dunes, kite spots, and local gastronomy.
Luís Correia has what most kite villages on the Rota don't: 46 km of coastline with eight radically distinct beaches — from wave kiting at Arrombado to natural pools at Maramar and Carnaubinha — plus two high-standard resorts (Aimberê and Carnaubinha) and the convenience of a real city with hospital, bank, and supermarket 20 minutes from the airport.

Practical intel
Use Luís Correia as your urban base: it has everything the nearby villages lack (Barra Grande, Macapá) and is 20 minutes from Parnaíba airport. The downwinder from Barra Grande to Luís Correia (~26–30 km) is rated 'very fun and wavy' by kitesurfers — arrange return transport in advance. Praia do Maramar (25 km from center) is the most photogenic kite spot in the city.
