The streets around Broadway (Rua Dragão do Mar), the pedestrian strip in the center of Canoa Quebrada, are where most backpackers sleep. Dorms and simple pousadas here run roughly US$10 to 25 a night, and the bars, tapioca stands and tour desks are a two-minute walk away. Nights are loud with live forró and street music, so bring earplugs if you sleep lightly.The quieter streets a few blocks back from Broadway, toward the Canoa entrance road, are cheaper at US$8 to 20, still within a ten-minute walk of the sand, and better for sleeping. Solo travelers meet people easily in the Broadway area, since the same faces turn up at the beach bars by day and the street at night.The cliffs side, on the north end of the beach, has pricier guesthouses with sea views, but it is less social and the walk home after dark is darker.
