About Icaraí de Amontada
Fishing village between Fortaleza and Jeri, known as 'the next Jeri'. Protected bay ideal for kitesurfing.
Icaraizinho is what Jericoacoara was 20 years ago — a genuine international kite community, with up to 9 months of wind, the hidden Lagoa dos Patos (a nearly empty mirror lagoon), and a growing French and German expat community that created a blend of Mediterranean relaxation with northeastern kite culture. The Carmel resort (ultra-luxury, opening projected 2025–2026) will change the market, but there's still time.

Tide forecast
Tide advice
Wild beach with waves. Reefs exposed at low tide — great to explore. Kite works better at low tide (more space).
