Walk the legendary Ponte dos Ingleses (English Bridge) at golden hour, then stroll Beira Mar Avenue as the city's beachfront transforms into a glittering evening promenade — the most iconic Fortaleza sunset experience.
What to expect
As the afternoon heat softens, your private guide leads you along Praia de Iracema to the Ponte dos Ingleses — a beautifully restored Victorian-era iron pier that juts into the Atlantic, its lamps flickering on as the sun dips below the horizon. The guide shares the poetic legend of Iracema, the 'honey-lips' Indigenous heroine immortalised by novelist José de Alencar, whose statue stands watch over the beach. The walk continues along the palm-lined Beira Mar Avenue, where the famous Feirinha Beira Mar night market springs to life with artisan crafts, fresh açaí, and live forró music — the heartbeat of Ceará.
Good to know
This excursion is best timed for late-afternoon port calls or when all-aboard is in the evening. The Ponte dos Ingleses and Beira Mar are both within 20 minutes of the cruise terminal by taxi/Uber. Confirm your ship's all-aboard time with your guide before booking to plan the return precisely.
