Why Jericoacoara
A national-park sand-street village and world kitesurf capital — supply permanently constrained by protected status. (Covered as a full market on Brazilkeys.)
Zoning-locked supply plus a fast-growing global kite market.
Getting there
Jericoacoara is roughly ≈4–5h drive from Fortaleza. For most foreign buyers it is a second-home or rental-income market tied to the Fortaleza demand catchment rather than a primary residence — underwrite it on seasonal and weekend demand from that metro, not on year-round occupancy.
Who buys here
Best fit: Boutique pousadas; lifestyle short-stay.
The buying process is national.
Jericoacoara follows the same foreign-buyer mechanics as everywhere in Brazil: CPF, independent attorney, registered FX inflow, escritura at the cartório, registration on the matrícula. Smaller coastal markets have slower title work than the big cities — a competent local attorney matters even more here. See the buying guide.
