Caucaia adjoins Fortaleza to the west in Ceará and forms part of the same metropolitan area. It is largely residential with a long stretch of Atlantic coastline, and visitors generally stay in Fortaleza and come out for the beaches.
The beaches west of the city, including Cumbuco with its dunes and lagoons, are the main draw and are known for kitesurfing given the reliable trade winds. Buggy rides over the dune fields are the standard local excursion.
Buses connect to Fortaleza and along the coast, and a car or ride-hailing helps for reaching the beaches. The dune areas themselves need a buggy or four-wheel drive.
The coast is hot and sunny for most of the year, with rain concentrated in the first half and a long dry season after. The windy dry season is the main draw for kitesurfing and gives the most reliable beach weather.
