About Dragão do Mar

Dragão do Mar is Fortaleza's urban waterfront spot, offering flat-to-choppy conditions suitable for intermediate riders. A prominent pier provides a natural launch point and doubles as a scenic landmark. The bay setting keeps waves manageable while trade winds maintain consistency. As a centrally located urban beach, it offers easy access to city amenities and infrastructure, though conditions can vary with tide and urban wave reflection.
