About this place
The beach has a long stretch of sand and some corals along the shoreline that become visible at low tide. The sea is generally without waves, making swimming more pleasant. At certain times of year, natural ocean swells fill it with seaweed. There is plenty of preserved Atlantic Forest here. 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.
