Pedra Furada is the postcard landmark of Jericoacoara, sitting right on the coast just a walk from the village when the tide is low. The arch looks its best from certain angles, but the route involves rocks and soft sand.
Only walk along the beach during low tide, and head back before the water covers the path.
How to get to Pedra Furada
Leaving the village, follow the sandy strip eastward when the tide allows. The walk calls for sturdy footwear and sun protection; when the tide is high, use authorized transport along the dune route.
What’s the best time to go?
Early morning and late afternoon usually offer softer light. In high season, arrive early to snap photos with fewer people around. The east coast buggy tour covers the area and is a handy option if you’d rather skip the hike.
