Plan your visit with travel, length of stay and current rules in mind, and confirm operational information before leaving.
From Porto Seguro, cross the Buranhém River by ferry and follow Estrada da Balsa to Arraial d’Ajuda. Road access is also available via BA-986, without a river crossing.
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.
Check the tide table, follow the signs and avoid entering the sea during strong waves or currents, or when local officials advise against it.
