About Ilha do Guajiru
Perfect flat water for kite freestyle. Lagoon and downwinds to Preá.
Ilha do Guajiru has the largest lagoon in NE Brazil — 6 km long and 400 m wide, entirely shallow — creating an infinite playground for freestyle and progression where you walk hundreds of meters over submerged sandbars with knee-deep water. The bed-to-board model with dozens of pousadas on the lagoon edge is the most developed on the corridor.
