There, at the Aquiraz Craft Complex are the lace makers who sell parts such beach outputs of (R$ 30), shirts (R$ 25) and table trail R$ 30). Nearby the is also the Casa Grande Mill , municipality of Pindoretama, where is the world biggest raw sugar (rapadura). It is 6.23 meters long and 2,190 pounds.

There, in about 40 minutes, you can walk the three miles of cliffs where they were taken from the colored sands. Today, the area is preserved and named Beberibe Cliffs Natural Monument.
