About this place
An urban beach near downtown Porto Seguro, notable for its many trees and long stretch of sand with calm waters at low tide. One of the loveliest places to watch the full moon rise, it is popular with couples and families who prefer to bring their own tables, chairs, food and drinks. Its peaceful atmosphere and proximity to the main road are further attractions. 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.
