The driver eases the van out of Fortaleza before dawn and the city’s concrete grid gives way to a coastline that curves, then opens. By midmorning the world has narrowed to sand and sky: broad beaches, sharp-edged dunes, and shallow lagoons that collect the wind like mirrors. At the operator’s beachfront base in Cumbuco, music drifts from a shaded palapa, the smell of grilled fish fills the air, and families claim loungers while kite lines stitch the horizon with color.
