About Canoa Quebrada
Canoa Quebrada is a seaside resort in northeastern Brazil, located near the village of Canoa Quebrada, which is 1.5 kilometers away. It is 3.766 kilometers from Praia de Majorlândia and 83 kilometers from Dix-sept Rosado Airport.

The main street of Canoa, where most accommodation, restaurants and shops are concentrated, is popularly known as 'Broadway, although its real name is "Rua Dragão do Mar" in honor of Francisco José do Nascimento, a hero of the abolitionist movement in Ceará, who in 1881 refused to transport slaves to be sold further south in the country.
