Iracema Beach

Iracema (the beach of the Bohemians) is the nearest to the center. Limited to the right by a breakwater that divides with Meireles Beach. On the left side, ending at Ponte dos Ingleses (Metallic), the ancient port city. With the highest concentration of restaurants, nightclubs and bars is excellent for those who like the night (the street of Tabajaras is the largest amount of establishments). There the animation starts at dusk and goes until dawn. The Dragon of the Sea Cultural Center, as well as the Pirate club, city landmarks, are in Iracema. For many couples, the evening begins with the setting of the sun at "Ponte dos Ingleses". The setting sun on the English Bridge, also known as Metal Bridge, on Iracema Beach, is a mandatory program for those visiting the city. The statue of Iracema refers to the history of the Indian which was depicted in a novel by José de Alencar. As Mucuripe and Meireles, the Iracema beach is not recommended for swimming in the sea, so the existence of reefs as the water quality. The best urban beach in Fortaleza for bathing is Praia do Futuro.
