The Village of Canoa Quebrada is located in the district of Aracati and it offers visitors several leisure options. During the day, besides the beautiful beach, there is plenty of shade and the service of many thatched-roofed, carnauba wood kiosks that line the beach. There are also many dune buggy rides over the sand dunes, "skibunda" (rides down high dunes on boards), sea rafts, horses, "parajipe" (paragliders pulled by jeeps), "banana boats" and many souvenir shops. There are many inns for all tastes, and several restaurants that offer diverse specialties, with flexible hours. There is also a very lively nightlife with nightclubs that stay open from 11:30PM to sunrise. Over the past years, an urbanization project has changed the villages look. The main street, called Broadway, has been paved and began to concentrate most of the novelties and attractions. The beach in turn conserved sections without houses or stands, attracting many foreign tourists, especially in August.
