Located about 3km downwind of Cumbuco, which is about 30 km from Fortaleza. Easy access via the beach and a buggy or 4x4 car. Accessible with a normal car via the dunes and its street, but not always possible to pass the road.

Many people pass by this spot on a downwinder from Cumbuco to the Cauipe lagoon.
