About this place
Ponta do Corumbau is one of the most isolated areas on Bahia's southern coast, in Corumbau, in the district of Prado. On the Costa do Descobrimento, it lies 224 km from Porto Seguro town, 55 km from Cumuruxatiba and less than 10 km from Caraíva along the beach, traveling by buggy, for example. 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.
Getting there
The attraction is outside the immediate urban area of Porto Seguro and Cabrália. Getting there may require highways, coastal roads, crossings or unpaved sections; confirm the route, duration and return arrangements with an experienced local tour operator.
Things to do
Walk along the sand, admire the scenery, swim when conditions are safe and observe the changes in color and terrain caused by the tide. Allow time to notice the details presented in the attraction description and take photographs responsibly.
