"What a beautiful place! "  

This is one of the most famous beaches of Bahia. Even who has never been to it, already heard about the place and knows it gets full in the summer and on the holidays.  

This beach is located 60 km to the north of Salvador and it has a great infrastructure for the tourist. There are several lodgings and restaurants to assisting  all kinds of demands and tastes.  

"Several turtles can be seen swiming at "Projeto Tamar (Tartaruga Marinha)" (TAMAR Project (Marine Turtle)."   

Some say that this beach is considered the "Brazilian Polynesian", thanks to its clear waters and the sea life.  

"I will swim a little now."  

It is at the beach where everybody is. It is good for surfing, diving, to just stay resting in the natural swimming pools, to make a boat trip or to just sip a beer. 

"Weird... "  

And there is also the headquarters of "Projeto Tamar" with aquariums and tanks with turtles, besides museums, sections with films and spawning areas. 

"The nightlife takes place here."  

There are the ruins from the 16th century, of Garcia D'ávila tower house, that has a cool observatory, with the view of Praia do Forte, besides the Sapiranga Forest Reservation, which has some nice trails. 

"I saw some nice aquariums."  

After people leave the beach, everybody goes to the bars of the town to drink, warming up the engines for the night. In the night, they go to places like Souza's Bar, Coisa e Tal Bakery, a bakery that becomes a nightclub!!, you'll only find it in Praia do Forte..., and Noronha's bar.   

"I saw some nice aquariums, where the turtles of all sizes swim all day... "
