About Lagoa de Icarai
Perfectly flat. It´s the river meeting the sea. Normally the beach is closed creating the lagoon. Once a year during rainy season (February to May) the lagoon has too much water and the water breaks through to the ocean. Then the lagoon is too shallow to ride on it and also gets dry. Be careful with rocks in the water who have very sharp shells on it. They are in the middle of the lagoon closer to the beach. It's recommended to wear shoes.
