Preá beach is considered one of the best places in the world for kite and wind surfing. And not only because of its proximity to another location known as a destination for sailors: Jericoacoara. The beach of Preá has even better wind conditions than Jericoacoara. The winds are more constant, reaching an average of 25 Knots between July and December (with various days of 40 Knots) and a slightly lower average in the other months of the year. Its "side on shore" direction (lateral from the sea to the land) is ideal for kite-surfers and for those who are starting windsurfing.
In the sea the condition is flat water or chop. To find less chop you can go out at low tide.
Where to sleep:
Rancho do Peixe is probably the most known and appreciated solution in the area, but there are other pousadas.
