This paper analyzes the relationship between in the Fortaleza with the Sea, notably the Iracema Beach, the formation of the maritime culture in Fortaleza. This is how the Fortaleza faced and face the changes that occur in the current climate of the coast. As a support tool, cartographic surveys were undertaken to verify the mode of expansion of the dialectical movement between man and the sea in the city, with emphasis on the maps produced by Adolfo Herbster and Simões de Farias. From the analysis performed in the study area, we noticed that since taking the population to modern practices maritime leisure, the Fortaleza coast has undergone successive transformations with respect to its uses and functions.
