Barraca do Joca

Barraca do Joca - Joca for short - is a gay beach bar in Fortaleza. It's open seven days a week. You'll find it in front of Hotel Beira Mar - keep an eye out for the seahorse statue! There's a gay pride flag at the entrance.

It's not fancy but it is fun - they also serve quite good seafood. Most of the tables are on the sand, so it's very much a beach bar. Reasonable prices for food and drinks, though, despite its prime beachfront location.

Barraca do Joca is often busiest during the daytime.
