Praia do Cristo, Beach in Barra, Salvador, Brazil
Praia do Cristo extends along a small stretch between Barra Beach and Ondina Beach, featuring fine sand and numerous rock formations creating natural pools.
The beach received its name from a statue of Christ installed on top of a small hill that marks the division between different coastal sections.
The Centro Espanhol recreational center stands in front of the beach, offering recreational activities and traditional Brazilian beach sports to local residents.
The beach remains less crowded during weekdays, particularly from Tuesday to Thursday, making these times optimal for visiting without large crowds.
A 110-meter zip line stretches from Morro do Cristo at 15 meters height, providing an alternative perspective of the Atlantic Ocean coastline.
