praia do futuro

This is the best beach located in the city. The beach is clean and there are several restaurants with infrastructure for you to spend the day at the beach.

It beautiful and you will find an infrastructure that you will not find in other place. Big restaurants, sometimes with swimming pool, music and delicious food. Try the crab... It's amaizing delicious. And have a coconut juice. You can also have a relaxing massage by the sound of the ocean. Just be careful when go for swimming. The sea and waves are strong there.

Dark sand and water was not too clear. Atmosphere was good. This was a crowded beach, close by restaurants added to the atmosphere. Definately not a must do in Fortaleza.

I love this beach when I'm in Fortaleza. The many "palapas" (bar-restaurant) are nice... there are some very good ones, and others not as good). The water temperature is perfect, the waves are a bit strong and are be careful with ocean currents. Careful with the beautiful tropical sun because de lovely and constant oceam brezee can pull a trick on you.If you are a beach lover I recommend.

Wonderful beautiful clean beach 20 minutes outside of the main hotels on Av. Beira Mar. Decent restaurant. Place to wash off. No charge.

The beach is very nice however a bit dirty. Anyway worth knowing. Look for Crocobeach for lunch, good food and fair prices.

I saw the place during a tourist tour. It is far away from the city; as far as I saw there is just one hotel there. It had a high wall around it. According to the tour guide, it is a pretty dangerous place, especially after sunset. Beware.

Good beach to have some leisure, but be prepared! Always some singer come and ask for tips. We went to Chico do Carangueijo and I do recommend there

We went there because the taxi driver and the hotel staff said that it was a good place. It was indeed. However, we found that the wind in this beach was too strong, too strong for us. Everything been blowing of flying away and the kids were not happy been swiped away all the time. The restaurants were very good. Amazing local sea food!

Praia do Futuro is a must seen beach of Fortaleza. All beach facilities are avaliable of the large sandy beach. You don't have to pay too much to have the experience. Beach is safe but be careful with the waves of the ocean and better to take a taxi.

Unremarkable and a bit of an anticlimax after Beira Mar, Mierles and Iracema. The restaurants were overpriced and the area lacked ambience

Many type of barracas as options to your liking. It is pricey depending on your choice of barraca. I recommend to spend at least a day on the beach.

Great beach and excellent sea food. The beer is fantastic and served cold at the main refreshment stands. To be safe stay close to the main restaurant stands. People have been known to be robbed right on the beach. Order the local crab or grilled fish. The coconuts are fresh and chilled to the right temperature. Food is cheap by Canadian standards so eat up . Parking is always hard to find on weekends, so avoid those if you can. Lock your rental car always and pay the guy to find you a spot. Avoid the outer areas and don't swim to far out due to the strong currents. As always the people are friendly but be cautious and like mom say's don't talk to strangers.

We stayed at a hotel along Beira Mar. It is very safe, with walking path along the beach front. We took a bus (no. 49) from outside the hotel, bus fare R2.20 per person to the Croco beach on Praia do Futuro. Just note that the Crcobeach is a block away from the bus route. There is no way of knowing when to get off unless someone told you. We were fortunate to have some Brazilian on the bus who tells us. If not, make sure you ask the bus driver. It's a good place to spend a couple of hours on the beach in the shade, with music and lots of yummy seafood. We took the same bus number 49 on the opposite side of the road where we last got off. Best to visit in the day time as several review on trip-advisor have said so. It is not particularly a good area.

Praia do Futuro is beach located a few kilometers outside central Fortaleza, Brazil. It is prettier and much cleaner than the other city beaches which are polluted to the point of being unusable. Futuro has dozens of large barracas, or beach restaurants that generally are open only during the day and on Thursday nights. My favorite one is Coco Beach, which serves an excellent traditional feijoada buffet with two live bands (typically one forro, the other samba), every Saturday afternoon. The bands can be quite good.Unfortunately Futuro beach is not great for swimming, given undertows and dangerous surf. That is not the only danger, as Futuro borders a large favela which makes walking around the streets during day risk and absolutely unsafe at night.
