About Lagoinha
Fishing village with red cliffs, coconut palms, and lagoons. Waypoint on the Paracuru-Guajiru downwinder.
Lagoinha combines a half-moon beach with red cliffs and dense coconut groves — the viewpoint angle over the beach is one of Ceará's most photographed natural compositions. Lagoa do Jegue (flat, shallow, tide-independent, with free-roaming donkeys around it) is the corridor's most charming beginner kite spot; Kite-On school (IKO PRO) was founded by the first woman to become an IKO Examiner in kitesurfing history.
