Getting thereJericoacoara has a small local airstrip (JJD) with limited flights; Fortaleza (FOR) is the bigger hub, about 4-5hrs away by road and dune-buggy transfer.
HazardsShallow reef sections in places at low tide — check locally before riding an unfamiliar stretch. Streets in town are sand, not paved.
