Protected nature beside Porto das Dunas.
The Pacoti River Environmental Protection Area covers the stretch between the river mouth and the old CE-040 bridge in Aquiraz. The estuary is important for wildlife, plant life, communities and the environmental balance of the Fortaleza Metropolitan Region.
What to do with low impact.
SEMACE lists ecological trail walks, recreational fishing and non-polluting water sports such as windsurfing and kitesurfing. Feasibility depends on the day's conditions and the rules applicable to each stretch.
Opening hours, access, natural conditions and tickets may change. Always check official channels and, for water activities, hire accredited operators and follow local guidance.
