Audio Guide of Lagoon of Paradise

Lagoon of Paradise does not have fixed opening or closing hours, as it is a natural area. You can visit at any time of day. From Jericoacoara, the most common and fun way to get there is by buggy or jardineira (an adapted truck). The trip takes about 30–40 minutes and is a unique experience. Many local operators offer tours.

There is no entrance fee or charge to access Lagoon of Paradise itself. It is a public space. However, if you use the services of the bars and restaurants along the lagoon’s shore, such as chairs, tables, or the famous hammocks in the water, you will likely be asked to buy something or pay a small usage fee. Keep that in mind before sitting down at one of the venues.

To fully enjoy Lagoon of Paradise, I recommend setting aside at least half a day, around 3 to 5 hours. This will give you time to relax in the hammocks, swim in its crystal-clear waters, have lunch at one of the waterfront restaurants, and simply soak in the heavenly scenery. It is a place to disconnect.

Lagoon of Paradise, like many of the lagoons in Jericoacoara, does not have a documented ancestral history or cultural significance like an archaeological site. Its importance lies more in its stunning natural beauty, which has made it an icon of ecotourism and relaxation, attracting visitors from all over the world in search of tranquility and turquoise-blue waters. It is a natural treasure that forms part of the identity of Jericoacoara.

The best time of year to visit is between July and December, when the lagoons are at their best level and the weather is drier and sunnier. As for the best time of day, I suggest going in the morning to enjoy the peace before more visitors arrive, or in the late afternoon to capture the beautiful sunset colors. Avoid midday if you do not like strong sun. For more information about the weather, you can check AccuWeather.

Access to Lagoon of Paradise can be a bit challenging for people with reduced mobility. The route to the lagoon goes along sandy tracks, which are not suitable for wheelchairs. Once at the shore, some establishments may have ramps or wooden walkways, but the overall infrastructure is not fully adapted. I would recommend contacting local tour operators to explore specific transport or assistance options.

Very close to Lagoon of Paradise is Blue Lagoon, another beautiful lagoon, though a bit more rustic. In the surrounding area, you can also explore the Lazy Tree, a natural curiosity. If you enjoy adventure, you can go sandboarding on the nearby dunes, or head toward Holed Stone to see an iconic natural monument in Jericoacoara. There is plenty to discover!

Of course! Bring sunscreen and a hat, as the sun can be very intense. Do not forget your swimsuit, towel, and camera to capture the scenery. I recommend bringing cash, since not all beach bars accept cards, and it will be useful for small expenses or tips. Finally, relax, enjoy the hammocks in the water and the local cuisine for an unforgettable experience. Enjoy this little piece of heaven!
