Cumbuco

Cumbuco, Brazil — Ceará

One of Brazil's biggest kite destinations and an easy first stop right after flying into Fortaleza, but primarily a kite beach — roughly 10 kiters per winger observed, so winging is secondary here. Food is excellent and cheaper than Cabarete; young, international, very social kite-traveler crowd. Worth visiting as an easy first stop, but a winger chasing open-ocean swell and waves will find more interesting riding elsewhere on this coast.

Community-reported (2026-09-14) — based on a firsthand trip account shared with Will, Sept 2026, from a friend touring the Ceará coast. Not yet ridden firsthand by Will. Coordinates are approximate. Skill level not stated by source — flagged for confirmation.
