About this place
A golden-sand beach in a village with palm trees, fishing boats and local seafood kiosks. There are no large facilities, just one beach kiosk, João Pescador, which serves its visitors very well. At low tide, natural pools form among the corals and are excellent for children. Calm, quiet and a peaceful atmosphere are distinguishing features that make this place worth visiting. 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.
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.
