The engine growls as the buggy noses up a wind-carved ridge; sand sprays like salt dust and the Atlantic glints beyond. You feel the dunes shifting under the wheels, a series of steep climbs and smooth, rolling hollows that open onto the Genipabu lagoon and, eventually, a broad strip of beach where soap operas and ads once filmed sweeping coastal scenes.
