Barra Grande is one of the best kitesurf destinations in Brazil for those looking to kitesurf directly from their accommodation, in a large flat water spot, with a choice of a good restaurant to eat out close by. This makes it a great location for all types of kitesurf holiday, including a family kitesurf holiday. The kitesurf and wing foiling school here is especially good and very professional.
Barra Grande, located in the state of Piauí, has been a renowned kiteboarding destination in South America for many years but is less known by Europeans, although this is now changing. The closest airport is Jericoacoara (around 2.5 hours away). Barra Grande works really well in combination with Atins or Prea, also really outstanding kitesurf resorts.
Main Kite Spot - Directly from the main beach there is a large flat water area with lots of space for those learning to kitesurf. A little upwind to the right there is a sand bar fringed with Oysters - this makes the water downwind very flat, but the sharp Oysters should be avoided
Macapa - A short distance upwind, approximately 2 kilometers from the beach, there exists a rocky bank that acts as a natural barrier, shielding the spot from excessively large waves. Consequently, during low tide, you can expect mostly very flat water, but as the tide rises, it can get choppier. Thanks to the bay's shallow water and the side-onshore wind from the right, this is a great place for those learning to kitesurf.
One of the main attractions in Barra Grande is incredible the flatwater lagoon and river estuary at Macapa Beach, located 2 kilometers downwind. You can kite here in the river mouth at any times, but there is also a massive lagoon that fills up with the incoming tide. This is a perfect playground for freestyle kiteboarding amidst several sandbanks and butter flat water.

This unusual and unique tour takes you to Brazil's wild and beautiful North. As you move North along the coast of Ceara state, where the better-known kitesurf resorts are (such as Prea and Jericoacoara), and into Piaui and Maranhao States, the infrastructure becomes more scarce, and the coastline becomes wild. Travelling in this area typically involved 4x4 driving along wild deserted beaches, traversing estuaries and taking small, locally run make-shift ferry crossings. Travelling becomes more of an experience and less of something to endure.
The kitesurfing in this area is uncrowded and breathtaking! It is some of the most dramatic and extraordinary kiting on the Planet.
