The small city of Aquiraz, located in the northeastern corner of Brazil, is a charming spot for a coastal getaway. Located just twenty miles away from the larger Fortaleza, it has carved out a reputation amongst Fortalezans for being an ideal weekend beach break destination and the best places to stay in Aquiraz unsurprisingly do tend to be beside the sea.

With that being said, there aren't a wealth of things to do or see, in Aquiraz - unless you just want to lie on a beach and forget about all your worries. So it might not be a great choice for true culture-vultures, but it's a splendid option for those wanting to get a good tan and read a book or two!
