Sanya Travel Guide

Ceará's coast is a world-class kitesurfing destination. Around Fortaleza—Cumbuco, Cauípe, Preá and others—steady, strong trade winds, warm water and vast flat sand lagoons draw kitesurfers worldwide. In the windy season (about July–December), colorful kites and riders skimming the waves are spectacular. There are calm lagoons for practice and waves for advance; many schools offer lessons from beginner to advanced and gear rental. Whether first try or expert, riding the wind on Ceará's blue sea is an unforgettable coast experience.

The Touch Pool is an interactive zone for families and education, where, guided by staff, you can gently touch starfish and sea urchins and feel marine life up close. It teaches children to treat fragile creatures gently and respectfully - a fun lesson in harmony with nature.

The banana boat is a common water activity in the sea sports zones around Sanya Bay and Dadonghai in Sanya, named after the inflatable boat shaped like a banana. Riders put on life jackets and sit astride the boat as it is towed by a speedboat at speed, with turns and bumps sending up spray and laughter, making it a lighthearted experience suited to groups. Sanya lies on a tropical coast with warm water and abundant sunshine, so water sports have a long season. Before taking part, confirm the operator's credentials and safety equipment, follow the instructor's guidance and wear the life gear as required. When waves or weather are poor, the activity is usually suspended, so follow on-site arrangements.
