Caucaia has a diverse landscape, with beaches, hills and valleys. For nature lovers, popular sights for hiking are the Serra da Rajada and Serra do Jua.

Caucaia is a popular destination for kitesurfing, as it has an extensive coastline suitable for the practice of diverse aquatic sports and good weather conditions throughout the whole year, being the season between July and November the windiest. The beach of Cumbuco and the Cauipe lagoon are the hotspots of kitesurfers. March and April are known as swell season, therefore many surfers go to Icarai beach in search of good waves.^{[citation needed]}
