Águas Belas Beach Day Trip from Fortaleza – Buggy Ride

The tour begins at waterfront hotels in Fortaleza with a morning pickup. The drive to Cascavel covers approximately 60 kilometers along a well-maintained road heading southeast along the coast.

Upon reaching the river, a traditional ferry carries passengers and vehicles across the water. This crossing is a practical part of the route and also a scenic one, offering views across the river mouth toward the open sea.

The main stop of the day is the beach itself, where the river meets the ocean and forms a series of calm, clear natural pools. Visitors can walk the shoreline, explore the red cliffs, and take time in the pools.

The hilltop viewpoint known as Mirante dos Bugueiros provides a broad view over the dunes, coastline, and surrounding landscape. Ecological trails connect this area to other points of interest throughout the tour.

Travelers who choose the optional buggy excursion are taken across the dunes and through the coastal terrain with the river crossing included as part of the route. This option provides a different and more immersive way to experience the landscape.

The group returns to the waterfront hotels in the late afternoon, completing a full day of coastal exploration. Total travel and tour time is approximately 10 hours and 30 minutes.
