Travels Part 3: Praia

And now the third, and probably most famous of regions in our beautiful state of Ceara... Beaches. Ceara is graced with endless kilometres of white sandy beaches. Just as the fields in Manitoba roll on and on, so do the beaches here.

All of the following pictures were taken in and around Lagoinha, a small fishing village about an hour up the coast from our place. We spent an entire day cruising up the beach on a dune buggy.  As always, photo credit goes to my hubby, Karl and Outtafocus Photography. 


Jellyfish washed in by the tide. 


It seems like every bend in the beach has a palm tree cluster on it. 


Literally, endless miles of beach.


Beachside restaurant on the other side of a river. 


Crossing this river on the 'ferry' (aka, a raft to hold our dune buggy and a kid pulling us along.)


Typical fishing village.


Typical fishing boat, called a Jangada. They are pulling it up out of the water, out of reach of the tides. 


Taking a break from dune buggies to enjoy the views atop a sand dune. 


The view we savoured as we had a most delicious breakfast in our hotel.
