Viewpoint
Favor the classic viewpoint looking along the curving beach of Praia de Iracema or Mucuripe toward the ocean, showing coconut palm fronds and sandy dunes in the foreground, the wooden pier of Ponte dos Ingleses, traditional jangadas, and ocean waves in the middle-ground, and the distant coastal headland and lighthouse fading in the background.
Palette
Green should be the predominant color, especially in the thick coconut palm groves along Beira Mar, dense mangroves of Parque do Cocó, and sea almond trees.
