Ponta Corumbaú, Coastal point in Bahia, Brazil.
Ponta Corumbaú is a coastal point in Bahia, Brazil, with a wide sandy beach that extends several kilometers into the ocean during low tide. This natural formation creates a shallow, walkable area with blue-tinted waters that shifts according to tidal changes.
The name Corumbaú comes from an indigenous language and refers to a distant place that gained importance only when sea routes developed through the region. It stayed separated from the broader world for a long time.
The fishing community here keeps old methods alive, supplying restaurants along the shore with fresh seafood prepared using regional recipes.
Reaching this location means traveling on unpaved roads; Porto Seguro Airport is the main arrival point for distant visitors. The best time to explore is at low tide, when the sand is dry and easy to walk on.
The area is designated as a Marine Extractive Reserve, which allows controlled diving at coral reefs and whale watching during migration periods. Visitors can plan these activities throughout the year when conditions permit.
