Do

Beaches are the main attraction. Careful with the rocks! Follow the locals into the water.

Kitesurfing is picking up as elsewhere along the coast of Ceará.
Surfing is popular, and there is a school and board rental on the beach.

Buy

Be aware that most shops close for lunch.

Drink

Paracuru has grown into a sort of regional nightlife hub on weekends, but occasionally some neighbouring town throws a party that dries out the local market. The square around the church has a string of pavement bars that keep going until after midnight.

Ventos Brasil (One block off the main square). Weekend disco. Free entry.
Papagay (the main square). Main bar/disco. Free entry.
Sweet Point (the main square). Chic bar specializing in quality cocktails. Free entry.

Sleep

Several small inns and also some vacation houses for rent.
