About this place
Just after Ash Wednesday, a new carnival begins in Porto Seguro: the extended festivities at Arena Axé Moi on Taperapuã Beach. In an enclosed area, various Axé Music artists perform on several sound trucks. The venue offers many food and drink options, including a VIP area. This place is part of Rede Bem Bahia’s Regional Guide and helps visitors understand the natural, historical, cultural and scenic diversity of the Costa do Descobrimento. The experience varies with the time of day, tide, weather, calendar and means of access. Plan your visit considering travel, time on site and current rules, and confirm operational information before setting out.
