Beira Mar Avenue is a place to relax, a place where you can walk all day, drinking a “caipirinha” (Brazilian national drink made with lime, sugar and cachaça) or a cold coconut water or just enjoy the scenery. It is not a long ocean walk; we can easily walk the whole avenue in less than 30 minutes. There are some restaurants, hotels, apartments buildings and shops along the way, but the best is the sceneries, the temperature and the breeze. What is really sad is that the water here is not good to swim. At sunset, at Meireles area of Beira Mar, there is a flea market, everyday, with lots of small shops where we can find every handiwork that Ceará manufactures. Enjoy the ride.

Stayed in Fortaleza for 7 weeks over the summer and can honestly say I spent around 80% of that time around Beira Mar. The beach is to die for, the markets that open at around sunset are amazing, and the food from the square is delicioso! The people are so lovely and the atmosphere is buzzing at any time of day.
The only I would say is that it can get very dangerous at night, which is normal in Brazil so just watch out, don't take out anything too valuable and you'll be fine.
Would definitely recommend Beira Mar to anyone that comes to Fortaleza!

Its very easy to be distracted in the market during the evenings. But this is a dangerous place. I was rushed from behind near Subway, held up with a gun pointing at my head, and my valuables demanded of me. When I said I didn't have anything, one of the late teen robbers grabbed my gold neck chain and yanked it with such force it cut my neck before snapping. They then ran onto the Meireles Beach to make their getaway, firing as they went.
Whilst the police took me to the station to make a report, the criminal suddenly became me as I was told it is illegal to walk without your passport. They threatened to deport me. All interest in the real villains had evaporated. I wonder how much they are paid by the gangs?
My Brasilian friends were mortified. They complain about the widespread corruption in Brasil. Additionally, an attempt was made to extract £7,000 from my current account while I was there, stopped only by the vigilance of HSBC fraud department. Thank you, HSBC.

This is the most busy area in Fortaleza, in the morning people running,walking or having a fresh coconut drink under the shade of trees. Safe and relaxed atmosphere except at night that becomes very noise.

The boulevard is close to some of the best located hotels in Fortaleza. It offers good opportunity to find something for the ones that stayed at home. Prices are very reasonable - even the barzinhos on the beach offer some good prices for drinks. Take bottled drinks since the experience we had was rather discouraging when ordering a caipirinha - little cachaça lots of water. Take a good hotel bar to get the best caipirinhas.
The stroll along the beach is about 500m - you can extend the walk up to the fish market where you can buy camarão (shrimp) for R$30 per kilo - have it prepared for another R$15.
A great sunset can be observed from the pier - after sunset the local market Freia Artisanale opens until 23:00hrs.

We just spent a week here and did not want to leave, people are great, scenery was awesome, food was just so good and the drinks were much better than expected. There was a lot of talk about security before our trip, but the people in that whole area depend on tourism and are more than welcoming everyone. You feel like a celebrity and there wasn't a day when we felt unwelcome. At first glance it looks like a beach in Mexico, but much cleaner and with more relaxed warmer people.
I can go on and on, but believe me, you just have to go. I've been to many places in different countries but this was our best vacation ever! Don't believe everything you read or hear.

This town is right on the ocean and built for a party. The weather is fantastic - much closer to the equator than Rio so even warmer ., the Avenue comes alive with hotels, restaurants, and shops. Spectacular for running and strolling .. love it!

Very busy avenue, intense trade on the waterfront, difficult to choose because there are many options with everything imaginable. Clothes, crafts, food... Always very busy, people go for a walk, buy, do outdoor activities... is worth knowing. The night is always full. The afternoon is more tranquil to walk and admire the waterfront. Special place to drink caipirinha and seafood.

That's the most important and popular place to go! Many families, friends, couples or just solo go to Beira Mar Ave. In the night the sidewalk have a lot of bazaars with good prices and funny T shirts! There are a lot of bars, restaurants and a lot of time you can join a stand up there

O mar em frente ao hotel seara é bom para banho? E a localização do hotel também e Boa?
Written January 28, 2018
Boa noite amigo, segue o link que voce pode ver as praias que estao aptas e as que nao estao para banho.
A melhor região para banhos permanece sendo a área leste do litoral de Fortaleza. Da praia de Caça e Pesca até o Farol, o que inclui toda a Praia do Futuro, as condições de banho estão favoráveis. A exceção fica por conta da Praia do Farol.
Já a zona centro está em situação intermediária, com seis das dez praias na lista de próprias para banho. Só é recomendado o banho de mar entre a foz do Riacho Maceió e o Espigão da Desembargador Moreira e entre a Rua José Vilar e o Inace.
A zona oeste, por sua vez, só tem três praias adequadas ao uso dos banhistas, sendo elas os pontos entre a Avenida Alberto Nepomuceno e Avenida Philomeno Gomes, assim como entre a Rua das Goiabeiras e a foz do Rio Ceará.

A praia em Meireles (em frente ao Hotel Luzeiros) é imprópria para banho?
Written January 9, 2017
infelizmente é! apesar de algumas pessoas entrarem, mas próximo tem uma,zona portuária que deixa a agua com residuos! todas as praias da beira mar são impróprias, o ideal é a praia do futuro, porém não aconselho a hospedagem lá, região muito perigosa, a noite é super deserta! fique na beira,mar mesmo e vá a praia do futuro durante o dia!

Também não entendi a pergunta. Pode dar mais detalhes?

A avenida Beira Mar é mão inversa. Vc tem que subir a avenida Abolição e seguir em frente. É só seguir as placas indicativas que vc chega lá.
