Tourist Complex on the Coast of Ceará Brings Together Award-Winning Water Park, Record-Breaking Thrill Rides, and Integrated Resorts that Drive the Flow of Over 1 Million Visitors per Year, Consolidating the Destination Among the Most Recognized in the Americas.
Voted by Tripadvisor as the best water park in the Americas and ranked among the top in the world in the category, Aqua Park, from Beach Park, has established itself as one of the most sought-after tourist destinations in the country, on the coast of Ceará.
In Aquiraz, at Porto das Dunas beach, the complex includes a water park, leisure areas, and four integrated resorts, in addition to sustaining an annual flow of visitors that exceeds 1 million people, according to figures released by the operation itself.
Among the attractions pulling this crowd are the Insano, a waterslide of 41 meters, and the Surreal, a water roller coaster with a 28-meter tower, as well as a set of more than 30 attractions aimed at different age groups.

Beach Park in Aquiraz: Integrated Structure on the Coast of Ceará
The structure operates in the municipality of Aquiraz, in the Metropolitan Region of Fortaleza, with access from the shoreline of Porto das Dunas, and bets on an integrated destination model, where accommodation, leisure, and dining are concentrated within the same perimeter.
Surrounding the water park, the group maintains four resorts, identified as Suites, Acqua, Wellness, and Oceani, an option that reinforces the place’s vocation for family travel and helps distribute tourist movement throughout the year.
In addition to the park, the area includes shopping and entertainment spaces that operate as an extension of the experience, with cultural programming, restaurants, and shops, extending visitors’ stay beyond the operating hours of the water attractions.
Origin of the Enterprise and Transformation into a Water Park
Before gaining international prominence, the enterprise started in 1985 as a beach tent in Aquiraz, marked by service and cuisine that attracted families interested in spending the day on the Ceará coast with minimal structure.
In those early days, the first water attraction was a simple slide called “Chute,” installed during the first years of operation and viewed as an initial step in a project that would later invest in larger equipment.
The most notable transformation came in 1989, with the official opening of Aqua Park, when the proposal ceased to be just a seaside support point and began to incorporate attractions designed to compete in the entertainment market.
Insano: 41-Meter Waterslide that Made History
During the same period of expansion, the Insano went into operation and became a symbol of the park, combining height and slope in a format that was held for years in the Guinness Book as the tallest waterslide in the world.
At 41 meters tall, the descent of the Insano can reach 105 km/h, according to information released by Beach Park, a threshold that helped position the attraction as one of the main showcases of the complex.
Even after the arrival of new structures in other countries, the ride remains one of the most recognized draws of the location, associated with the park’s image and the profile of the audience seeking thrill attractions.
Expansion with Resorts and Vila Azul do Mar
Starting in the 2000s, Beach Park’s growth began to focus not only on changing attractions but also on expanding what visitors would do outside the pools, with hospitality and entertainment functioning as part of the tourist package.
In this process, the integration of the four resorts strengthened the logic of a complete destination, while Vila Azul do Mar gained prominence as a gathering area with commerce, dining, and shows, bringing tourists and locals closer together.
With the expansion of this infrastructure, the park began to depend less on a single-day visit and more on an itinerary that combines longer stays, reduced travel, and greater predictability of services in the surrounding area.
New Attractions like Surreal, Tobomusik, and Parque Arvorar
In recent launches, Surreal was introduced as the tallest water roller coaster in the world, with a 28-meter tower and a 340-meter course, reinforcing the strategy of renewing the portfolio with large-scale equipment.
Tobomusik, on the other hand, bets on a descent with a soundtrack and visual effects, a resource that aligns with a trend of immersive attractions and seeks to differentiate the experience without altering the basic principle of traditional waterslides.
Meanwhile, Parque Arvorar expands the concept by prioritizing contact with nature and environmental education actions, including activities aimed at schools, such as guided tours and educational content related to native fauna and flora.
Economic Impact and Environmental Projects in Ceará
Besides attracting tourists, the enterprise has weight in the economy of Ceará by generating direct and indirect jobs and driving associated services such as transportation, dining, retail, and hospitality in a region that relies on tourism.
In the environmental sphere, Beach Park promotes programs like “Zero Waste” and educational initiatives like the “School Project,” connecting the operation to waste management goals and actions to raise awareness among school audiences.
This set of investments simultaneously preserves the identity of a large water park and supports the image of a destination that tries to combine local tradition with constant modernization to maintain competitiveness.
With so many competitors vying for attention both in Brazil and abroad, what can still differentiate a water park to stay on top of the rankings and in the preference of the public without relying solely on records of height and speed?
Propaganda enganosa, o parque e meia boca, com poucas opções.
Cobra uma fortuna, 320,00 a entrada de turista e 180,00 para morador (crime contra o consumidor).
Horário de funcionamento ridículo, das 11:00 as 17:00.
Preço da alimentação absurda, garrafa de água por 9,00 e lanches (ruins) por mais de 35,00.
Quando fui em janeiro/26 estava quase vazio.
Não vale, tem muitas opções de passeio melhores.
É um bom park aquático, mas não o melhor. O maior e melhor da América Latina é o Thermas dos Laranjais! O Thermas ganha de lavada. Tem bons preços, excelente estrutura, é gigante e tem águas termais. Basta ir nos dois e comparar.
