Caponga Beach is less than half an hour from the state capital, Fortaleza and its international Airport of Pinto Martins, serviced by regular direct flights from the US, UK and the rest of Europe.
The site borders dramatic dunes and is just 1km from a beautiful beach of white sand and a dreamy meandering river bordered by a national park.
Caponga Beach could be considered a sleepy local fishing port (if anywhere in Brazil could ever be described as sleepy!). It consists of several fish restaurants, a couple of low-key bars, a hotel and a dozen small fishing boats.
The local town is Cascavel, and provides all the basics you need – a few shops, garage, town square and a smattering of smiling locals.
