A string of shacks line the beachfront, mostly good for drinking and people watching.
The best concentration of restaurants in town is found in the Varjota neighbourhood, especially along Rua Fredrico Borges and its side streets, starting some five blocks inland from Beira Mar. Thursday is crab day in Fortaleza, especially in the many shacks at Praia do Futuro.
