Ponta do Corumbau, Beach in Prado, Brazil.
Ponta do Corumbau is a beach with a sandbar stretching up to 2 kilometers into the sea at low tide, bordered by coconut palms and green waters. The formation shifts with the tides, creating different shapes throughout the day.
The Pataxó indigenous people settled this region and maintained strong ties to the land near Monte Pascoal mountain. Their presence continues to shape the identity of this coastal area today.
Local restaurants by the shore serve traditional Bahian seafood, prepared fresh by fishermen who work these waters daily.
The beach is most accessible during new and full moons when tidal differences are greatest and the sandbar extends furthest. Plan your visit around these lunar phases for the best experience.
Visitors can explore Itacolomi reef by boat, observing fish and turtles in natural pools formed by the rocks. Boat tours depart directly from the village beach and offer a different view of the local marine world.
