Tips

Tips we've prepared so you can make the most of your time in Fortim

🚶
Walk to the Lighthouse
At low tide, start from Praia Canoé and walk along the shore to the lighthouse. A unique and free experience!
🌅
Sunset at Pontal
The sunset at Pontal de Maceió is stunning and cosy. Highly recommended!
🌕
Full Moon Party at Jaguaribe Lodge
The lodge hosts full-moon events. Worth checking availability in advance.
🏨
Jaguaribe Lodge
Resort with restaurant and bar at Praia Canoé. On the pricier side, but we highly recommend a visit!
🛶
Boat Tours
See the Tours section for our boat tour contacts — departing from Canto da Barra, 300m from the guesthouse.

Beaches

The best beaches in Fortim and surroundings — something for everyone

🏖️ Praia Canoé
Head towards Pontal, turn right at the "Praia Canoé" sign. Free access.
📍 How to get there
🌅 Lighthouse Beach
Walk there from Praia Canoé — also a great spot for sunset!
🌊 Canto da Barra Beach ⭐
Where the river meets the sea, just 300m from the guesthouse. At low tide natural pools appear — excellent!
🚗 Pontal Beach
Just 8 minutes by car from the guesthouse.
🤿 Agulhas Beach ⭐
A bit further away and the road isn't great, but absolutely worth it. Highly recommended!
🌅 Rio Pirangi Beach ⭐
Requires a buggy or 4x4. A deserted beach where the river meets the sea — great for sunset!
