Risks & Safety

The spot is generally safe and clear, with no major obstacles. A few isolated rocks appear at low tide near the river and towards the north of the beach, as well as the occasional fishing net. The only warning is the river's current at low tide, but navigation remains very safe.

Pontal de Maceio (Fortim)

Located on the sunny coast of Ceará, in northeast Brazil, Pontal de Maceió is a small, unspoiled fishing village bordered by an endless stretch of golden sand. Far from the hustle and bustle of the larger seaside resorts, it's a peaceful and authentic spot where the wind blows almost every day, creating a typically Brazilian atmosphere. The beach offers a superb natural setting, with its dunes, palm trees, and the mouth of the Maceió River, creating a contrast between the sea and the lagoon. The conditions are consistent, the water warm year-round, and the sailing area is immense, with no major obstacles. It's a perfect spot for riders seeking both performance and tranquility. Thanks to its constant east to southeast wind, Pontal attracts both Ceará locals and travelers looking for a quieter spot than Cumbuco or Icaraizinho. Here, time seems to slow down: we sail to the rhythm of the wind, we share caipirinhas at sunset, and we enjoy a Brazil that is still authentic.
