Fortim
Fortim sits where the Rio Jaguaribe meets the sea east of Fortaleza, and the river mouth creates a flat-water spot that visiting kiters rate among the best they found in the region, popular with French travellers as an emerging, uncrowded alternative to the busy western Ceará circuit. Conditions are described as best in the morning around low tide.
