Brazilian journalist, columnist, and author Lorena Portela grew up surrounded by some of the country’s most beautiful beaches.

Jericoacoara

"My top tip is to avoid the super fancy places. Go to a locally owned one. I will recommend a hotel called Jeri Pousada. Swim in the morning, go back to the balcony of the hotel to read and chill before lunch."

"After a short nap in a hammock, go back to the beach to sit in one of the beachfront bars, listening to some good music. I love staying at Bar do Alexandre in the morning or lunchtime, having some snacks and drinking coconut water."

"Club Ventos is a beachfront type of restaurant–bar, but also a windsurfing club where we can see the most beautiful sunset you can ever pray for, and you can also have a smoke, drink caipirinhas and wait for the sea and sky to turn red and purple."

"For a nice dinner, I'd say book a table at Na Casa Dela. They have pasta, steak, and fish. The place is cool, super charming and super friendly."

"Bistrô Caiçara has good cuisine, tasty and fresh seafood."

"For dancing, instead of a club party, put your flip flops on and go dance forró with the locals in Church Street. Don't forget to drink some cachaça there and enjoy it. That is the real Jeri."
